The Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok is usually busy, especially during the main tourist season from October through to April each year.

You should expect longer times a day or two either side of a holiday closure, so please allow for this when making plans to apply for a visa.

Having said that - they are pretty efficient there and if you have all of your documents, photos, passport copy, tickets etc ready then it doesn't take too long.
