Yes it's normal in jomtien, he spoke to me the same, but you can go from 7 days before , they will apply . If you pay agency they apply anytime, because they are happy to share a lot of more money

They don't like you going too soon at Jomtien, it's happened to me before to go back nearer the expiry date.
