Looking for some advice on the Visa free possibility of extension.

TLDR : Answer Summary

An Australian passport holder entering Thailand is allowed a 60-day visa-exempt entry. It is possible to apply for a 30-day extension at immigration without leaving the country, though approval is at the discretion of immigration authorities. A TM30 form may be required for the extension process.

You can apply for a 30-day tourist extension, after that you would need to leave.

after 60 day Visa Exempt entry you can apply for another extension. Its up to immigration to grant it. Make sure you have a tm30. Hes a utube to watch
