TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can extend your 30-day visa exemption for an additional 30 days at Immigration in Bangkok for a fee of 1,900 THB. However, the ability to extend may depend on your nationality. If you arrive in Chiang Mai, you can apply for the extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp.

I’m an American, how soon after arriving in Chiang Mai, May I extend my 30 day exemption? I would like an additional 30 days.

Tod Daniels thank you, do you know what they charge for the 30 day extension?

in Chiang Mai you can apply for an extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp

SO that means at least in theory you could enter on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp and go straight from the airport to the immigration office to get your 30 day extension
