Question: how long does it take to get a chinese visa in bangkok?
Answer: Single Entry L visas which are usually good for 30 days are the least expensive and the cheapest way to get it is to take 4 days. If you are in a rush, you can choose a faster option, but you pay more. I'm American and I got a 30 day Tourist L China Visa in 4 days and paid the big 4560 THB ($153.51) fee.
