The Thai Immigration in Sathorn Soi Suan Plu is no more!!! I went all the way there today to extend my visa-on-arrival, and I find out they are closed and that the new office is out passed Lad Prao, at Chaeng Wattana.
Here are some tips
1. Take passport
2. 2 passport photos
3. a copy of your passport and your arrival card (should be stapled inside your passport)
4. the cost is 1900 baht for visa extension fee (+500 baht per every 1 day overstay)
5. if on tourist visa, you can get 30 day extension, if visa-on-arrival then only can get 7 day extension
They are open 8:30am til 4:30pm and they have noon-1pm lunch break.
Some pictures of their new location:

Call: 02-634-4433
Address: 135/18 Suriwongse Rd., Suriyawongse, Bangrak, Bangkok 10500
Baru Za is a very nice and elegant bar and restaurant in the Silom Suriwongse area of Bangkok. They have a modern-style look and feel, and some really great dishes to choose from on their menu. They have happy hour everyday from 2-9pm (it’s buy 1 get 1 free drinks), although the prices are a bit high, for example an order of the famous Thai spicy shrimp soup named “Tom Yum Kung” is 190 baht, not much, but noticably more expensive than most other restaurants. With that being said, I must mention, it’s WELL WORTH IT! The food is great! And they have inside area for those of you who want aircon, and outside for those who want to smoke their nasty cigarettes hehe
The Menu: Consists of japanese cuisines, many thai dishes, curries, international foods, spaghetti, and many soups and salads
What I Ate: We had the pan-fried seabass with white wine sauce, it was SO very delicous, I will definately order again, also had there famous potato salad, also delicious
The Staff: They are friendly, and can speak pretty good English too
The Bathroom: The bathroom is small, but clean, it’s in the Glitz Hotel (link) which is connected to Baru-Za
