Visa Extension Visa Run Thai Visa Regulations Visa Types Immigration in Thailand

ORIGINAL POSTER

Can someone advise me please. I entered Thailand on a 30 day Visa exempt, had it extended at immigration for 30 days and then did a Visa run(first of year). Now some body told me I can go back to immigration and extend another 30 days? Then do a further Visa run when that 30 days expires?

Is this true?

Aldo i have been coming to Thailand previously on one year retired visas and once on a multiple entry ... can I change my type of Visa based on that?

Thanks for any guidance on this🙏
