TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking information on extending their 30-day visa exemption in Bangkok, Thailand. They have never extended a visa before and are confused about where to go, as suggestions point to locations at Chang Wattana and Muang Thong Thani. Comments indicate that the correct location for extending the visa is Muang Thong Thani and provide additional information and resources.

, You already got the answer you asked in the Original post. Here AGAIN the information as an infographic by Bangkok Immigration Office. All members provided you more than enough information using their precious time for you.Sorry, but if you still think you don't get the answer here, the only way you can know is to go to whichever office to see the fact by yourself.

You are going to go to Muang Thong Thani temporary office, NOT Chaengwattana, if your current address is in Bangkok.
You will go to this building.
You will go to this building.

Actually the departure card is the one kept with the passport. The arrival card was kept by immigration when they got stamped in. I know it is a minor point but it might confuse someone but it does say "DEPARTURE CARD" on it. So they need a photocopy of the departure card (some IOs want both sides even though almost nothing on the back side) not the arrival card which they do not have.Stephen *******

Because people enter on a Tourist visa (Which people paid and got at Thai Embassy/consulate BEFORE you flew in) have to go to CW.But people who entered Thailand on a visa-exempt scheme (like you) are handled at MTT.
People don't care on what you were stamped in, only talking by their own experiences.
