TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about the possibility of extending an expired tourist visa for Thailand due to travel restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a community response, once a visa has expired, it cannot be extended, and the user would need to apply for a new visa. The current border situation poses additional challenges for entering Thailand.

Once the visa is expired, it's expired and you need a new visa. The borders are closed to enter Thailand now as well
