Hi, if I come Thailand with a 2 month tourist visa can I get 1 month more at immigration ?

Or do i need to leave the country and come back.

Could i go Laos and get a 3 month visa and fly back into BKK

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
An Australian inquiring about extending a two-month tourist visa in Thailand can indeed extend their 60-day tourist visa by an additional 30 days at a local immigration office for a fee of 1,900 baht. This means they do not necessarily need to leave the country to obtain a longer visa, although traveling to another country like Laos to obtain a new visa is also a possibility.

After you have been in Thailand 30 days of your 60 day tourist visa you can then apply for a 30 day extension giving you 90 days total
