How's 4-5 days per week studying Thai seriously.

Please realize you'll not only have to attend but also make progress?

Are you aware you'll also be interviewed in Thai by the immigration officers to confirm such proficiency progress each quarter, as they review your request to extend?

Finally, most "good" schools are booked up for the intro/basic levels already.

The top three schools in Bangkok listed here in alphabetical order.

Look into ALA, Duke, and Rak Thai schools.

Yes, that's what I thought, thank you for the clarification & details.

Here's the thing:

Best to have the 3 proofs in whenever entering visa exempt AND even with a TR tourist visa...

Required:

hotel booking for a few days

& onward travel reservation within your allowed days,

& 20,000 thb or equivalent in $ ยฃ โ‚ฌ in CASH is needed.

Lack of funds is the most common reason cited for denying entry, but in your case it was lack of onward travel...

Welcome back to LOS ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Sorry to hear of your troubles and crying child.

Do you mean to say you were first trying to enter without any ticket leaving Thailand within the permitted 45 until days ?

Did you travel in on a one way ticket?

It'll be best for you to open any account near where you live, that'll be to your advantage because all banks are fussy about doing simple things (such as change of address, update any information) at the branch where the account was opened.

Bangkok Bank in EmQuartier next to Phrom Pong BTS SkyTrain station may still allow you to open an account by yourself; stop by with your passport & see their list of requirements.

Besides that:

Siam Legal, a law firm will sort you for a fee. Might be 5k thb

You really should just say "thank you"

I already answered your question completely before.

It doesn't matter what you asked previously... all of the information you need was already there.

that said, given the fact that I'm altruistic... here we go AGAIN...

First of all, there's no way you have a 45 day visa on arrival. did you buy a visa already? No, you certainly didn't buy a 45 day visa on arrival.

You entered free visa exempt, and they stamped you in for 45 days.

Correct?

Now! IF you made an appointment for Chaengwattana... that's the wrong place to go.

Keep reading!!

(This is what I wrote before)

Chaengwattana government complex, counter J ; if you actually have a 60 day TR visa

Extend. Even though you won't get fined, they'll likely put an overstay stamp.
