TLDR : Answer Summary
An Indian friend with a 2-month tourist visa ending on June 14 cannot apply for a normal 30-day extension. While he may have been stamped in for 60 days, the current policies do not allow for a standard extension based on tourism, especially since the COVID-19 extensions are no longer available as borders are open.

sorry, but no. He can not get a 30 day Extension of Stay based on tourism.

The 60 Day Extension of Stay based on being unable to travel is a decision of the Immigration Officer as landborders are open and people do leave from airports to foreign countries.

The rule:

Suggest he ask his local Thai immigration office.
@Robert ******
is correct...

If he has a tourist visa he purchased in India he will be STAMPED IN for 60 days and is eligible for 7 day extension. 1900 Thai baht from the local Thai immigration office.
