Why not just get a 30-day extension for 1900 baht?

Or book a $3/night hostel, have them check you in/report you, and act like you just arrived in Phuket. lol

actually, in Pattaya I needed all that paperwork for a 30-day extension. It was because I was in an Airbnb and the Airbnb never reported me to immigration when I arrived. Also, there was a fine because I hadn’t been reported. I just went to Bangkok and did it there instead and didn’t need the paperwork or to pay the fine. I guess you can also go into immigration and just act like you’ve been staying in a hotel.

Yer bro,looked into this as I live in Thailand but my landlord is being an uncontactble man at this point to sign off on the paper work needed to get the 30 day extension...also looked into a visa shuttle bus run but they where going to charge me 2000 bht for the trip to satun and another 1000 baht for some reason to stamp back in.
