TLDR : Answer Summary
A user attempted to extend their 60-day marriage visa at the CW but was unexpectedly redirected to Muang Thon Thani, prompting confusion and the need for clarification within the community. Comments suggest that this may relate to recent changes in visa processing locations.

Wow! This is the very first time I have seen you guys get a piece of advice wrong. Keep up the amazing work you are doing. Especially in these trying times.

I know :( And I'm sorry. Muang Thon Thani is new, and there's some confusion about what does what.

Report back once you get the extension and let us know how it goes,

Yes Tod is correct. The extension of visa exempt for family visit purpose or has anything to do with marriage is in Muang Thong Thani, unless you’re going to do Non-Immigration Visa O (Spouse).

I was advised to go to Muang Thong Thani to get more time to do marriage documents using visa extension based on family/marriage there.

Note : My situation before was I had tourist visa exempt asean (and hadn’t had any extension). I tried to apply non-o for the first time there.

That's a 30 day visa exempt entry and those extensions are handed at Muang Thong Thani Section K

Sorry you got bad advice, luckily the two places aren't that far apart from each other :/

WOW, sorry about that,.. What type of VISA or entry stamp are you on NOW here?

Did you enter on a 30 day visa exempt entry? That would be the ONLY reason I could think of that you'd go to Muang Thong Thani. <- because they moved section K
