TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK citizen currently holding a 60-day tourist visa in Thailand can apply for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office for 1900 Thai baht. However, applying for another 60-day eVisa while physically in Thailand is not possible as the application must be made from the home country. A possible route to obtain a new visa would be to apply at the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, but applicants must meet specific requirements, including residency proof in the UK or Ireland.

As stated, you can get One 30 day extension of stay at your local Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

Beyond that, you CANNOT use the NEW Evisa online application system for a Thai tourist visa as that's ONLY available in your home country.

You could APPLY for a Thai tourist visa in the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia However you EXACTLY MUST meet their requirements for the Thai Tourist Visa.

thanks for that James , one side of my brain was saying vpn the uk and apply online the sensible sides still asleep ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Tom ******
and be AWARE that if you have a recent history of staying in Thailand during COVID-19 and afterwards, be prepared for questions by Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival into Thailand. IF that fits you , AVOID flying into Thailand. Had you obtained a METV multiple entry Tourist Visa when you were home in the UK, you could have been able to stay up to 9 months in Thailand with a few simple visits to neighbor SE Asian countries or land border bounces.

we did think about the 90 day but didnโ€™t really know what our travel plans would be to put in the application and we only wanted to spend around 6 months here to escape the Scottish weather and return for the warmer weather and biking season then come back November again

@Tom ******
they may even realize you are using a VPN and deny it on those grounds, since your IP address will be associated with a data center rather than a residential IP.

You can enter Thailand Visa EXEMPT again and get a NEW 30 day STAMP Plus one 30 day extension of stay.

That can be done max of 2 land border bounce crossings and reenter EACH CALENDAR YEAR.

Though there's NO limits for Visa Exempt Entry arrival by airโœˆ๏ธ. However at some point you will be questioned by Thai Immigration Officers and possibly DENIED entry.

Whatever you do...AVOID POIPET LAND BORDER CROSSING ENTRIES into Thailand.

will be flying to siem reap and back , couldnโ€™t be bothered with all the mucking about with land borders
James ********
@Tom ******
and Again I say...if you have a recent history of staying in Thailand , you will be questioned by Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival by air โœˆ๏ธ into Thailand.

NEXT TIME...GET THE METV MULTIPLE ENTRY TOURIST VISA... THEN NO PROBLEMS FOR YOU TO STAY 6 TO 9 MONTHS.

I believe that you have the answers needed for your questions...

We wish you success and Safe travels ๐Ÿ™

Thanks all for your helpful replies.

nope that will FAIL. You must prove flights โœˆ๏ธ departing from the UK AFTER your Thai tourist visa is issued. So using a VPN will not work .
