Clearly you don’t have any experience with Prachinburi and your personal feelings don’t amount to bugger all, if they are deciding your visa extension you have to play by their rules. I'm not sure you understand what the rules are good luck with subbmitting emails with your extension.

Is the Thailand Elite 500K baht 5-year visa a good deal or a scam?

Colin **********

The "normal" visa extension is 1900THB a year, so your paying dearly for it, but if your under 50, not married to a Thai and don't plan to make an heavy investment here, it could be worthwhile. There are benefits with the Elite you should check out.
