TLDR : Answer Summary
As a Pakistani passport holder currently on a tourist visa with one extension already granted, you cannot apply for another visa extension. With only 8 days remaining on your visa, you are advised to leave Thailand, apply for a new visa, and consider options such as a border run to obtain a different type of visa.

You've already received an extension so you're not eligible for another one. 8 days is also not enough time to convert to a different visa. You'll need to leave Thailand and apply for a new visa before returning.

there's not. To convert to a different visa you need at least 14 days when you apply. So you can't do that and you can't get another extension.

I might add that you don't use an agent to get a fake ED visa. You actually get it with the help of the school you sign up, and pay with.
