TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is experiencing a delay in processing their Thai tourist visa application submitted 20 days ago. Despite having a history of multiple visits to Thailand on a multiple entry visa, the current application status is under review. There are discussions in the comments about typical processing times for Pakistani nationals, with indications that it can take up to 30 days. The user has canceled their initial application and reapplied, leading to confusion regarding the current status as an agent claims the application is still pending while the embassy states no visa has been applied for.

You cancelled and reapplied so now you're at the back of the queue not near the front
