Answer

If you find yourself wanting to stay longer, you can apply for a visa change at the immigration office in Pattaya. It's important to do this before your current visa expires.

- Gather all necessary documents, such as your passport, any relevant application forms, and supporting documents explaining your reason for the change.

- Keep in mind that processing times can vary, so it's wise to apply well in advance of your current visa's expiration.

Immigration note: Entry and extension rules depend on nationality and purpose and can change. Check current Thai government or immigration requirements before relying on an older answer.
