TLDR : Answer Summary
If you arrive in Thailand from the UK without a visa, you can initially stay for 30 days. It is generally easy to extend this period for an additional 30 days at any immigration office, provided you have a few documents such as copies of your passport pages and a recent photo. Experiences shared by other travelers indicate that extensions have been processed without significant issues. There are also COVID-19 related extensions available, which could further extend your stay.

I assume you can get a 30 day extension pretty easily.

I came here on a Visa Exemption, though from Norway.

First extension was no problem, and got my covid-extension last friday. No problem.

Yes. You need a a few copies of your passport pages and a photo. Here’s what’s required in Phuket. Your local office may be slightly different.

They might want something slightly different but for an exempt extension I doubt it.
