Loy Krathong isn't a public holiday, and neither is the Monday that follows.

Currently it is terribly busy due to the backlog after the closure following Covid case.

Cross your fingers it will calm down.

Monday and Friday: normally both more busy than rest of the week?

Yes as they told me today they where letting people in but mostly thais thinking service staff agencies 90 day reporting was done by dropping your passport off at gate and returning later residents certificate resumes on the 22nd

Going to Si Racha was simple not crowded took less then an hour to get certificate

Reporting to Pattaya Immigration to show you still have 800k in bank for 3 months from getting extension renewal doesn't matter if it is after the date they gave you as it will still show you kept funds in bank for the required period.  In the past, reports from folks that planned to be out of country or out of Pattaya on the due date they were given asked Jomtien Immigration about it and were told no problem, just report when you get back.

 

That said, from reports I have seen, Jomtien Immigration has no system to track such reporting and when you do, they do not enter any information to show the report was made.  So one could skip reporting entirely without any  problems -- but, still probably best to make the report to be on the safe side.

Be careful with the 800,000 in the bank method. I went last week with the required stamped letter and 3 months statement and my bank book which was not updated at every transaction but was updated on the day. They refused and told to present a full year statement. Back to Kasikorn bank and returned. Refused again because my statement showed I had briefly fell below 400,000 in May. I was lucky because I have another yearly fixed deposit account with LH Bank which qualified. So off to Terminal 21 to arrange another letter and stamped copy of my bank book. That did the trick and they gave my extension. This is the first time I have had a problem with them so can't complain and it was my fault because of carelessness maintaining my account above 400,000 at all times.
