it's was actually very easy with Kasikorn, you wouldn't even need an agent. I didnt take one with me, my girlfriend came with me in case translations were needed.
this was what I was saying to my girlfriend, the way they seem to have responded to the banking changes by going well over seems to suggest some form of guilt. Hopefully this bunch of comments can help people and save them time in the future.
it's amazing how consistently Kasikorn seem to be the most polite and helpful. Hopefully we can spread the word and save people time and effort in the future!
i wouldn't have even been bothered if when I walked in she had said that she just didnt want to help me, but to try and send me on the hunt for a clearly made up form irritated me. I mean what if someone went looking for this form only to find out they couldn't have an account anyway.
I'm here in my first Non O based around my son, I really considered doing the Thai Privilege as I thought getting the Non O would be a lot of hassle but so far everything has been relatively easy.
I cant help you with the extension as ive never extended a tourist or a visa exemption if thats what you're in Thailand on. Probably the easiest option is Thailand Privilege if you have the 650k THB to spare. It'll give you a 5 year visa on the Bronze level of visa. Ill post the link below this comment so you can have a look for yourself. Ive also just applied for, been granted my Non O and im now in Thailand organising my extension to my Non O visa. If you decide to go that route and have any questions I may be able to help there.
