If you wish to extend your tourist visa, you can visit the local immigration office in either Bangkok or Pattaya to apply for a 30-day visa extension, which would cost 1900THB. If you wish to stay longer than that, then ED visa might be a better option for you

Go to your local immigration office and apply for a 30 day extension. For an ED visa find a school you want to study at and sign up with them.
