Hey all

I’m going to come back to phuket without a visa for 30days.

Can I then apply for 30 day extension?

Is that how it works?

I want to be here just under 60days

Thanks for your help

TLDR : Answer Summary
A visitor can enter Thailand under the visa-exempt rule for 30 days upon arrival. After this period, they can apply for a further 30-day extension at an immigration office for a fee of 1900 THB.

go and extend as soon as possible it gets added on so 60 in total. Don't leave it until the last minute like many do.
