In case someone is interested, this would be not too far (about 1,6 km) from Xen Suites Hotel (formerly Quality Suites Hotel) which is advertised on Agoda and hotels2thailand.com.

Staying there you would be about 3 km from Body Entertainment Bar & Karaoke which seems to be still open near Laksi Monument (I should check it one day ... )

Bus lines running along Jeng Wattana are

52 - Pak Kret to Bangsue Railway Station via Phahonyothin and Pradiphat (so easy connection from Saphan Kwai or Morchit BTS stations)

150 - Pak Kret to Minburi

356 - Pak Kret to Rangsit

I know this thread is about the Bangkok Immigration, but all over Thailand are Immigration Offices being moved, replaced or extended.

 

For example:

Khon Kaen will get an Immigration Office

Udon Thani will get an Immigration Office

Chonburi province seems to have a 3rd office now, in the city.

I've heard that there are more changes...........anyone?

I know this thread is about the Bangkok Immigration

Not necessarily. If you have information about the goings on involving any of the immigration offices, please feel free to post.
