I had not planned on staying in Thailand beyond my 30 day tourist visa. However, something came up and I knew I needed to extend. I got some information on how to go to the new place out in Laksi. It seemed fairly straight forward, but I knew I would have to get there early to avoid it being an all day thing. Then I saw the Thai Visa Centre online. Since it was already later morning, I thought I would contact them. They were very quick to respond to my inquiry and answered all of my questions. I decided to book a time slot for that afternoon which was super easy to do. I used the BTS and a taxi to get there which is what I would have needed to do anyway had I gone the Laksi route. I got there about 30 minutes before my scheduled time slot, but I only waited about 5 minutes before one of the excellent staff members, Mod, was able to help me. I barely had time to finish the nice cold bottled water they gave me. Mod filled out all the forms, took my picture, had me sign the documents in under 15 minutes. I really did nothing other than chat with the very pleasant staff. They called a taxi for me to get back to the BTS, and two days later my passport was dropped off at my condo front office. Of course the extended visa stamp was in place. My problem was solved in less time than it takes to get a proper Thai massage. Cost wise it was 3,500 baht to have these professionals do it for me instead of 1,900 baht for me to do it myself out in Laksi. I’ll take the zero stress pleasant experience every time and definitely be using them in the future for any visa needs. Thanks Thai Visa Centre and thanks Mod!
