Thank you for your help

my question is I went to the border and got a 30 day tourist visa last month expires on December 26

can I go to the immigration office by the airport here in Chiang Mai and get a 30 day extension this week?

and also next question is would it be extended from the December 26 when my visa runs out?

I will probably go on December 12 which is around two weeks before it expires

Thank you for your help

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the possibility of extending their 30-day tourist visa in Chiang Mai by visiting the immigration office. Specifically, they want to know if they can apply for the extension a couple of weeks before their visa expires and whether the extension would start from the date of application or the expiration date of the original visa.

Why hasn't anyone corrected him on calling his 30 day Visa Exemptions Tourist Visas? The sticklers are slacking!
