It is not important if you agree with this or not, the only thing that matters is the fact that Thai authorities classify it as a tourist visa.

For a few things it might be convenient to have a Thai bank account, but I don't think it is necessary

The waiting time to get document from your landlady, has nothing to do with the time YOU spend to get the documents for the extension.

When a few days more or less are that important, I think Thailand is not the right country for you.

I think it will take less of your time to get the updated documents than the time it takes to do a border run.

You never know what will happen, banks can change rules and checks when they want.

When you don't want to take risks loosing your account, you should not change to a tourist type visa, but I don't understand why people really NEED a Thai bank account.
