I'm doing extensions in Sriracha since 2012,and every year they added another annoyment,my wife has to take 2-3 times half day off daily salary 3500thb,our house 33 km from Sriracha immigration,not fun.until 2022 embassy letter was enough,now they also asking for bank account slips to see if at least 40.000thb are coming in every month,on top of that I have to bother my thai neighbors(working people)to be at home when the immigration comes to check my address,those officers complain why I stay far and they need to spend a lot of gasoline.I very hate the time of extending my stay.I'm over 23 years in Thailand and things changed to the bad.I would fly anywhere to get a 1 year visa if I don't have to deal with immigration in Thailand anymore.
2006 and 2007 I got 1 Year visa in Kuala Lumpur,the embassy staff asked me why I don't extend at immigration in Thailand,I replied"immigration sucks"she smiled and answered"I know'
