I applied in 2005 - I was told at the time by the folks at Special Branch that my application was approved "quickly". At that time, so I was told, a lot of applications went into indefinite limbo, and that the outcome was impossible to predict, which made my waiting for the IM all the more fraught with the prospect of disappointment. This prospect of failure, with no reason given, doesn't seem to be the case anymore: Applicants who post their experiences here all seem to get approved sooner or later.

Think of your Thai citizenship application as a background project. The inner workings at the IM are completely opaque to you, and there's nothing you can do to speed things up. My application took a total of two and a half years, nearly all of which was waiting on the IM. I'd almost given up and resigned myself to being a PR forever, then finally I got it, and it's certainly been worth all the effort.
