They speak English at immigration you can do it yourself it's easy if you don't panic and take your time, an agent should be no more than 20k if you feel you really need to use one, There is an office below The Language Centre (TLC) On Phetkasem road that can help you, ask for Apple

@Robert *******

Oh pardon me for it not being usefulful to you but I posted it for other people to read too., I'll speak to Pattaya mail and tell them to try better next time!

@Bra****

Yes that may be the case as there are certainly more Asian tourists there than in HH >> Government officials are reluctant to give a timescale for the latest crackdown on foreigners trying to open bank accounts in Thailand. Tellers at Thai banks told Pattaya Mail that the problem might last for several weeks whilst investigations continue into fake websites, messaging apps, social media and individuals suspected of involvement in banking criminality. Some bank staff say that the biggest single issue involves Asian tourists opening bank accounts to launder cash into capital-flight cryptocurrency which is hard to track.

As far as I can read from the article it seems to be only temporary until they work through all of the 'mule' accounts and figure it all out, some 200,000+ accouts are being reviewed.

From a very recent post in a Hua hin group '' We both went to extend our 60 day visa at Blueport this afternoon..After waiting 2 hours and having all of the required paperwork we were advised to return to the immigration office 14 days before our visa expires.As our visa expires on 17th March not until the 3rd March..Hopefully this info will help others.'' Guess it depends how busy they are and what mood they are in 🙂

@Bra****

Yes 45 is more acceptable than 33 but it depends where as always.
