TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about the possibility of obtaining an extra 30-day extension after an initial 60+30-day stay in Thailand without a letter from the Swiss embassy. Comments reveal that extensions without embassy support are generally not permitted, and most suggest that the individual would only receive a 7-day allowance to leave the country. Furthermore, a recommendation to contact the Swiss embassy for assistance was mentioned.

I do it again, COPIED FROM THE SWISS EMBASSY WEBSITE:

We call on Swiss citizens currently traveling in the region to return to Switzerland as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might get blocked in the country you are currently in for the near future.

Swiss Government is organizing charter flights to help you, and I know it is fully up to you to make the choice.

But to stay legal inside Thailand could be a problem soon and there is NO social distance in the crowded detention centers.

Choice wisely

:O They sent you the letter requesting the Thai government to extend your current visa by another 30 days because you can't fly due to the COVID-19 virus as a Swiss passport holder?

No letter from the embassy means no extension. Only 7 days to leave the country.

No, if you apply again for an Extension of Stay, your application will be not approved and you get 7 days to leave the country

They have flights leaving from Thailand to Switzerland and Germany, and I expect those flights to continue and not stop.
