Can French and Portuguese passport holders extend their stay in Thailand and apply for a visa in Malaysia?

The user is seeking current information regarding visa options for friends holding French and Portuguese passports who are currently in Thailand on a 30-day exemption. They are inquiring about the possibility of extending their stay for another 30 days in Samui and then traveling to Malaysia to apply for a 60-day tourist visa. They are concerned about their current visa expiring soon and are looking for advice on the best course of action – whether to do a border run, visit immigration in Samui, or travel to Penang.
