Hi Tracey. Did you manage to successfully apply for your Chinese visa here in Bkk? I am in the same boat. I went to the visa application center on Monday and they said that they are not accepting applications if you are on a TR visa 'at this time' About four people left the line to the counter. The agent in China advised that there is some kind of summit on in China until the 25th of this month and that I should try again after that day, my Thai TR visa expires 3 Nov so my time is running out.. Especially with everything going on next week..😥
