ORIGINAL POSTERHi, I‘m staying in Samut Prakan, arrived 1st of December with Hungarian passport and now would like to apply for a tourist visa to stay in Thailand another 45 days. Is that right that I have to apply at the Samut Prakan immigration office? ☺️ Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user in Samut Prakan inquired about applying for a tourist visa to extend their stay in Thailand for 45 days. They learned that they cannot apply for a tourist visa within Thailand and that they may only obtain a 30-day extension at the immigration office for 1900 Thai baht, assuming their initial entry was via visa exemption.

These are the common found requirements for the 30 days extension of stay at Thai immigration office.

Sorry but you cannot apply for a Visa tourist visa inside Thailand.
As you arrived in December, I assume that you entered Thailand VISA EXEMPT with a 45 day stamp.
IF you have not already obtained an extension of stay, you can get a 30 day extension of stay at the Samut Prakan Thai immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.
