As others said, best to talk with them directly. AND the Thai embassy. Getting approved will probably take 3-4 weeks. But then comes the payment phase. At that point it would be nice to know that there's at least a chance one could get on the list to enter the country (which is an embassy matter.) Best of luck!
That's good advice, I think :) But I'd bet the question was about CW vs MTT (no energy to type those names again. And yet somehow ended up typing even more.)
You could get married. Get another job. There's some options with volunteer/ED visas. In some of these cases, consulting with a visa agency could be a good idea. The only one I have personal experience with is called "Star Visa". But I'm not sure if they do anything other than Thai Elite.
And, of course, as said in the other forum, you can get a 30 day extension with an embassy letter. Which could possibly be repeated (new embassy letter each time.)
You could to a nearby province (making sure the hotel registers you properly.) I saw someone post the other day. I think it was Ayutthaya. Immigration office was quiet and friendly.
