The wife just got her SMS saying her processed visa application was ready for collection today (10th April) .. followed by the 'will be delivered to chosen address' .
does anyone know which days the post office does NOT deliver over Songkran. ? shes near ban chang rayong area. 

and how long after the SMS it normally takes it to arrive .. 1 . 2 . 3 Days ?  got no tracking info off them as i suspect she put that piece of paper in the pack sent to Sheffield by accident lol

They won’t deliver over the three days of Songkran. If you’re lucky you'll get it before. If not it will be after. We were lucky a few years ago during one of the festivals and we had tracking info and went to a big PO in Mukdahan on Saturday morning and picked a visa up from there before they delivered. It would have a taken a few more days due to the festival.
