Can I apply for a 30-day visa extension in Bangkok and what do I need?

Question

Hi, I‘m Canadian and applied in Canada for an extra 30 days on my visit to Thailand.  Sorry, I’m not sure of the proper wording.   This was approved, so I have 60 days, and am now in Thailand.  I am going to apply for a 30 day visa extension (giving me 90 days) and have a few questions.  
Can I do this online?  If not, which office do I have to go to (in Bangkok)?
I read on other posts in this group that going early won‘t shorten my time, but how early can I go?   I’m currently only about a week into my 60 days.  
Besides my passport and the 1900 fee, when I go for the extension, do I need anything else, such as a photo?  I assume any forms required will be provided at the immigration office.

Thank You.

A Canadian expat in Thailand seeks information on applying for a 30-day visa extension after being initially granted 60 days. The inquiry specifically asks about the online application process, necessary documentation, the appropriate immigration office in Bangkok, and the timing for applying for the extension. Key responses clarify that the application must be made in person at the Chaengwattana Immigration Office, not before 45 days remain on the visa, and that a TM30 address registration is required alongside the application fee.

In Bangkok you can apply for an extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp (so you can't go for the extension yet)

AND

If you entered on a 60 day tourist visa entry, you need to go to the main immigration office at the government complex (Building B) on Chaengwattana Road. You want to go to Section J,

You entered Thailand with a Thai Tourist Visa and was STAMPED in for 60 days.

You can get an ADDED 30 days extension of stay at your local Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

Be sure you have a TM30 address registration on file with Thai Immigration.

And when you can apply for the ADDED 30 days depends on where you are living in Thailand.

IF you are in Bangkok, you make the application at the CW Chaengewattana Immigration Office.

You can apply at any time during the 45 days prior to the ending date of your stamped in arrival date into Thailand.

The 30 days are ADDED to your current ending date, so by going early you don't lose any of the 30 days.
