TLDR : Answer Summary
In Chiang Mai, only a tourist visa or Visa Exempt Entry can be extended by 30 days. Non-Immigrant O visas do not qualify for this extension. It's important to consider the specific basis for your Non-Immigrant O visa when exploring extension options.

Last time we heared that the Ministry of Labor in Chang Mai is given out the work permits again, but you need the documents of your organisation.
