Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the possibility of extending their SETV (Single Entry Tourist Visa) in Thailand for an additional week or 10 days after an initial 60 days plus a 30-day extension. While extending for the first 30 days is standard, the additional week or 10 days is not guaranteed and is treated as an 'application for extension denied' by immigration. Feedback from commenters suggests that a better strategy might be to exit to a neighboring country and apply for a new visa, rather than relying on extending the current visa.

, said that 7 day stamp after a 30 day extension is NOT guaranteed.

Many immigration offices want to see proof that you're leaving thailand within a week before they'll sell you the "application for extension denied" 7 day stamp.

The first two 60 + 30 are standard. Extending the 7 days is not guaranteed because it is not a real extension but similar to a rejection of an extension where you are told you have 7 days to leave. If granted it cost 1900 Baht - same as the 30 day Extension. Thai Immigration does not like it if you show that you planned to use the 7 days versus it was an accident of scheduling. After the first 60+30 period depending on what is your home country - it would be better if you went out of Thailand to a neighbor country and reentered to get a 30 day Exempt Entry - which can be extended by another 30 days. Then go to another country to get abother 60 day tourist visa. All this can be done if you do not have a track record of many recent previous entries

You might get an additional 7 days, I would just do a border run and get 30 days
