TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discussed the state of crowds and social distancing at the Immigration Offices in Bangkok's Building B on Chaengwattana Road. There were observations of significant crowds, even before and after lunch hours, emphasizing that social distancing measures were in place but still revealing a cramped environment. Several commenters shared personal experiences and exchanged humor about the inadequacies of seating and spacing in light of COVID-19 regulations. The conversation briefly touched on the complexities of immigration policies, particularly around testing and quarantine for certain individuals.

Would have been easier to go just remove the seats and store them ......

still pretty empty. when i went for my photo for my non-b extension in June there were about 3 people there who didn't actually work there.

Shame the kids at my school aren't doing that.

But I guess if you are in the Egyptian army you can just show up in Thailand . Not get tested , no quarantine , and then spread Co Vid every where. But we have to jump through all the hoops

Sorry William, somebody told you crap and you are just repeating that crap. That Egyptian was one person, not "the Egyptians" in general.
