TLDR : Answer Summary
A friend can extend their tourist visa at Chaengwattana Immigration if they have a 60-day Tourist Visa obtained before entering Thailand. However, if they entered Thailand with a visa exemption or a Visa on Arrival (15 days), they will need to go to the IT Square Laksi Plaza temporary office instead. It's important to know the friend's passport nationality and current address in Thailand to determine the correct procedure.

His current address must be in Bangkok.

IF he entered with being stamped for 60 days on Tourist Visa which he applied for and paid at the Thai embassy/consulate before he came to Thailand, Chaengwattana is the office your friend has to go to.

IF he entered without a pre-purchased visa (visa-exempt or visa-waiver) or paid when entering Thailand (Visa on Arrival), your friend will go to IT Square Laksi Plaza temporary office.

Where is your friend living now in Thailand?

Do they have a Tourist Visa that they bought before arriving into Thailand?

Or did they get 30 day stamp as visa exempt on arrival.

Or did they get the VOA Visa on Arrival for 15 days?

What is their passport nation?

It can be done unless your friend has a passport of one of these countries

Totally depends on where your friend lives
