I know the admins don't like TM30 questions, so I apologize in advance.

I'd like someone to share their experiences in Chaeng Watthana (Bangkok) before I go there myself. Disclaimer: I'm aware of the app/site but can't use it yet.

My questions: What is Chaeng Wattana like on a Monday morning, when hundreds of foreigners come back from a weekend trip? Are we really all expected to take at least half a day off on Monday to re-register after a weekend away from Bangkok? How long will this take in reality? Not looking for complaints or speculations, just experiences so I can prepare myself as this will have major implications on my work life and planning.
