you can go whenever you like, as long as it is before the expiration date. (Well, you could probably go then, too, but have complications with overstay).

I believe it is up to the discretion of the officer but I guess so is the extension in the first place. In practice I think they will do it for anyone in Chiang Mai, the sign outside even mentions paying 500 a day plus 1,900 for the extension if you go late.

Technically I think it needs to be within the last 45 days of your stamp at CM immigration
