Just checking ...
If l arrive on 7th or so of February on a 60 day tourist visa but would like to stay till a week after Songkran around the 20th of April.(Approx 75 days total) Can l request a 30 day extention in my first week or do l have to wait for the last 15 days of my 60 day tourist visa to apply for the extention.
The reason l ask is I'll spend my first week of my holiday in Pattaya then I'll be heading to Sangkha, with limited transport options to get to a immigration office.
Also another option would be to do a land crossing at Chong Chom /O-Smach(instead of the the extention) as that is closer and easier to get to than a immigration office. Does anyone know if l would need to stay overnight ,in Cambodia, or not if l use that border crossing?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the possibility of extending a 60-day tourist visa in Thailand by 30 days. Specifically, they want to know if they can apply for the extension during the first week of their stay or if they must wait until the last 15 days of their visa. They also consider using a land border crossing to Cambodia for a new visa exemption entry to Thailand and seek clarification on whether an overnight stay in Cambodia is necessary.
