TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, a 30-day visa exempt stamp obtained from a border crossing can be extended for an additional 30 days at any local Immigration Office. After extending, travelers can re-enter Thailand from a neighboring country like Malaysia. However, travelers should be cautious as there are restrictions on the number of times one can use land borders for visa exemptions within a calendar year, which is typically limited to two entries for certain passport holders.

Yes, but be aware that depending of country of origin of your passport you can only use a land border twice a calendar year to get a new Visa Exempt Entry.

Ah so I’m ok !! I can fly to Malaysia, and come back for another month ? Then extend again

Coming in by plane is not a land border. With landborder they mean actually walking from another country using an official border crossing into Thailand.

I flew from England to Bangkok 3 weeks went home.
Then I’ve just flown from England to Bangkok for 1 month, then paid 1900 for another month.
So am I all used up ?

If you came in in January by land border that is number 1.

Ah shit!!
So the fact I came in January for 3 weeks counts as 1?
I’m English

Yes, every 30 Day Visa Exempt can be extended once with 30 days at any local Immigration Office.

The Visa Exempt Entry is a stamp with an Admitted until date, most Immigration Offices allow you between 30 days and that stamped date to apply for the Extension of Stay. This Extension is added to your current permission so you will not loose a day by going early.
