When looking for agents in Bangkok, particularly for visa services like DTV and company setup, it's recommended to search in areas like Asok, Silom, and On Nut. Engage with agents who are transparent, provide receipts, and avoid those who demand cash or make unrealistic promises. The community advises seeking recent reviews in expat groups and meeting agents in their offices rather than cafes. Specific agents mentioned include Thai Visa Center and Martin from dtv-thailand.com. For guidance on avoiding scams and understanding normal fees, 'Unlock Thailand' by Isla Rey is recommended.

For Bangkok there are many agents in Asok, Silom and On Nut area. Most people use agents for company setup, long stay help, or DTV extension paper. Good agents will always explain what is legal, give you receipt, and will not promise bank account one hundred percent. Bad agents promise everything fast and ask cash only.
If you want an agent, ask in expat groups for recent review, meet in office not cafe, and ask what documents they will provide for immigration. A good agent will tell you the risk and will not keep your passport for long time. For DTV you do not need an agent to enter, but some people use agent to prepare extension file at immigration.
I saw a useful part about how to pick a safe agent in Bangkok and what fee is normal in Unlock Thailand by Isla Rey on Amazon, it helps you avoid scam and choose a trusted office. Worth reading before you pay anyone.
