When is Immigration Closed?

[DerekP]

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know what date(s) Chiang Mai immigration will be closed over the holidays? I've heard Dec 27 to Jan 6. I've also heard that it's only Dec 31-Jan 1. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

Yes, but I would not go directly after a big holiday.

Loooong lines.
