Can you extend a tourist 60 day visa on arrival at Don Muang airport or do you have to trek to the immigration government complex? What’s the cheapest way to get from Don Muang to immigration?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Extensions for a 60-day tourist visa on arrival cannot be done at Don Muang airport; you must go to the Chaengwattana Immigration office. It's recommended to plan on taking a whole day for the process, and it’s advisable to visit early in the morning, preferably on a Wednesday.

It’s best to get to Thai Immigration and BKK early in the morning. Wednesday is the best day, watch out for holidays.

Here is the access information to Chaengwattana. If you need more detail information, google it. This group is not for advice about cheapest access info...

here is a pro-tip

NEVER EVER trust a thai consulate/embassy worker at a thai consulate outside thailand about anything to do with a visa or extension INSIDE thailand

AND

NEVER EVER trust a thai immigration officer at an immigration office inside thailand about anything to do with a visa from a thai consulate outside thailand.

They are two completely different governmental organizations and don't have any idea what each other do.

you can't apply for an extension on ANY visa until you have 45 days or less left on your entry stamp SO if you're comin' in on a 60 day tourist visa stamp you have to wait TWO weeks before you can apply for the 30 day extension at Chaengwattana Immigration office

Extensions aren’t done at the airport. You must go to the immigration office. Plan the whole day.
