Thai Holiday Friday Vientaine Embassy

[TVtellme]

Looking to book an appointment at the Thai embassy in Vientaine and noticed they have appointments for Friday even though it’s a holiday. 
 

Is it actually open?
 

Likewise if one applied in Savannakhet Thursday would their passport be returned Friday?

Friday October 13 is one of the official holidays that will be observed by the Vientiane embassy and Savannakhet consulate (https://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/en/page/office-hours-and-holiday?menu=63bb90d69da54379d32269a3.

 

Neither will be open Friday and, for applications made October 12 at Savannakhet, passports will be returned with the visas on Monday October 16.
