Yes, this works IF you are able to generate a Queue Code card and can then make the cancellation in the correct, on-line manner.  Many posters are unable to generate that Queue Code card and thus are left in the lurch.  That was the purpose of my post in the first place.

I think I broke the code on why some posters are unable to print out queue code cards.

You must disable all pop-up blockers within the browser you are using or 'Allow" the CM Immigration website to open pop-ups.  I was having the same problem, and once I disabled both IE9 pop-up blockers AND Google Tool Bar pop-up blockers, voila!  You will be directed to a new page that shows your confirmation code.  This can be printed out or saved as a PDF file as a previous poster has stated.  After making an on-line appt and receiving the confirmation code, I quickly canceled the same appointment to confirm that the Immigration booking system works.  It does!

Now, the issue as I see it will be several, perhaps dozens/hundreds of such attempts being made which correctly place an appointment on the system, but for which the person making the booking may not intend to actually use that appointment...as many are probably experimenting with the site.  

If you do make an appointment and do not intend to use it, PLEASE notify Chiang Mai Immigration so that the officers can delete your booking and restore that time slot for use by others.

You need to find a Logitech dealer...I just bought a great keyboard case in the US that matches the aluminum-colored back of the iPad2. It is made out of quality materials including aircraft alumium.  Another idea is mail order one from Singapore.

Exactly as you surmise...it is a social thing.  Guys enjoying their time together.  There may be a touch of elitism in that the average Thai cannot afford to take the time nor pay the money to play our sport...and some fellows may feel like rubbing this in...pinching themselves in the smug knowledge that they are among the lucky ones.  But for the majority, I think it's just fun for them to hang out.  Plus they get to pick up tips or compare themselves with others.

This the best and most succinct advice on the topic.  Well said.
