Tuesday 16th Asalha Bucha Day -- does Chaeng Wattana open on this day?

[Gaccha]

My calendar claims Asalha Bucha Day on the 16th (Tuesday) is a NON-observed holiday, but I recall it was observed last year. Any ideas? (please note: 17th is Thai Buddhist Lent and is definitely an observed public holiday)  Will Thai Immigration Chaeng Wattana open their doors?

It is closed Tuesday and open on Wednesday.

Wow.... that is bizarre...

Been that way for the past few years.  Asalha Bucha is a government holiday and the start of lent is not one.

Do all Immigration Offices follow the same days off?

 

Will Jomtien be closed on Wednesday?

Thanks Joe, you are always a great help on all immigration matters.

Your time and effort are very much appreciated!

I have an appointment at a private hospital (Mission) but I assume they will be open or they would not have scheduled me.

Government holiday.  More will be closed than just immigration.  Now if they could just make everyday a government holiday.

Read the comments and thought I'd better check with local Immigration here in Nakhon Sawan as it's my week for annual extension. 

Was told they're open Tuesday but closed Wednesday and Thursday. 

Seems not to be standard everywhere so good idea to check if it's your week.

I think you had better ask them again since that does not appear to be correct info. Perhaps a misunderstanding.

I'm not surprised. It's hilarious that people who should really know better post with an air of certainty that all immigration offices will be open on Wednesday. Clearly it's hit and miss.
