I lived in Thailand for 7 years. When I read these postings, I bow down to the sanity that prevails in Cambodia. Logic and order will never rule in Thailand. I have no idea how you guys tolerate the type of dysfunction by the Thai government.

Again, thank you for you completeness and helpfulness.

ubonjoe, thanks for the great answer. Very helpful. I am considering two points. Maybe it is cost effective to find an agent to handle this, when considering taxi fares, traffic jams etc. Lad Phrao road can be a major traffic headache. What do you think. Also, I have down loaded the form to fill out. Will they accept completed copies of that form???

I am staying near the Big C supercenter off Lad Phrao road and would like to know where I can go nearest this area for a 30 day extension of my 60 day tourist visa. Also, is there any maximum or minimum time limit on when I can request the extension? From what I have read it seems like the fee will be 1900 Baht. Is that correct? Also, it seem like this task is same day completion. Is that correct? Any question I have missed asking that is relevant to successfully achieving this task?

Did you marry in Thailand? No idea if that's a must. But you'd theoretically get a Non-O Multiple Entry visa based on marriage to a Thai wife.
You need the original marriage certificate and a copy of her ID card. I guess she's got her Thai address in her ID card, right?
You do not have to show financial proof at the Thai consulate in Sawannakhet, near Mukdahan/Thailand.
I hope that helps. And you're allowed to work on such a visa.
P.S. She doesn't have to be with you when you apply for your visa.
Thanks for the info. We were originally married in Thailand. Not sure when she registered the marriage.
we also married in the USA and I do have an original of that one. I have a copy of her ID card, but she seems to have gotten her USA citizenship and is now using that as her ID. I will research further into this path and thanks again.

I hope for you that you don't have too many tourist visas for Thailand in your passport. All regulations are pretty strict now.
Being married would allow you to receive a Non -O in Sawannakhet based on your marriage without financial proof. Just saying. Good luck !
You caught my eye with the comment on marriage visa. I expect to return to Thailand from Cambodia in the next several months. I am married to a Thai, but she is in the USA. I am curious regarding the requirements for the visa you recommend.

Thanks for all the comments. Helpful in confirming the confusion can abound. Got my 30 day extension on my 90 day tourist visa for my wife and myself.
It was crazy expensive. Exactly 4180 Baht. Massive time was at office from 11AM to 4PM+ plus traffic jam issues. The 90 day tourist visa cost $47 per person. How can a 30 day extension cost so much. Crazy, crazy place. A one year visa in Cambodia between $280 and $300 and no lawyer skills required use the thing. In and out of the country no problem. No 90 day report. Cambodians are logical. They have property owner report client location and no massive gov't offices and staff required. GOOD MORNING THAILAND???????
