Relocating............closing down KCIDo you mean
1) opening a new office?
2) relocating ?
Or
3) " moving into" in other words " investigating"?

Well, that makes economic sense.
But not to me.
I agree GotLost, one of the reasons for the visits is to weed out those earning a living without a work permit.
I would guess also that they are looking for those that do not have genuine funds as specified in the extension criteria.
I'm not convinced that this is the best way to do this. If they give you due warning you could arrange to be "sick" or take a holiday that day. Maybe interrogating your neighbours to discover whether you leave from and return to your home regularly at the same time every weekday. But this could be done anytime during your stay and I'm sure the authorities have the right to cancel your visa/extension (or bang you up) should you be found to be breaking the law.
I'm not sure how this can be determined from a house visit. They have already inspected your bank passbooks and you have presented your certified letter from the bank as required. [Edit: or an Embassy letter with proof of income].
If you have obtained a dodgy extension from the senior official, I'm sure he wouldn't wish to send around investigators to check (assuming they are under his command).
It all smells to me. What of, I don't know. "Jobs for the boys" doesn't appear to ring true.
There not. The investigators are under the Suppression Unit not the stamp pushers in the office that may be doing other things.
But how are they able to determine your financial status by visiting your house?
[Edit: sorry, I was responding to Nomad]
[Edit again: isn't the Suppression Unit something to do with drugs?]
Thats just one and only one of their duties. They are tasked with interviewing for marriage and retirement extension along with investigating questionable circumstance and individuals. They due the round up and drive the immigration paddy wagons.
Maybe they should be tasked with investigating bomb attacks in Bangkok rather than farting around with questionable farangs in Surin?
Was told by the investigators they were after Eastern Europeans and muslims. this is not an off the wall rumor comment.
Just slightly discriminatory, though I'm not surprised.

There are many eastern Europeans and Muslims with British and/or American passports (and many others), although their name may give the game away. But not to a Thai Immigration Officer who is still worried whether they may be participating in illegal tissue hand jobs!

Pol Maj Gen Jitjaroon Sriwanich, the Khon Kaen police superintendent, said there were four main checkpoints in the Khon Kaen Municipality - the city gate on Srichan road, the third bus terminal, the railway station and the office of the Region 4 Appeals Court.
One would assume that that is a smoke screen.
ASSUME=ASS YOU&Me.
Well, putting up check points and then advertising their locations doesn't sound very clever.
