TLDR : Answer Summary
The user’s initial 30-day visa exemption in Thailand expires on January 10th, and their application for an extended visa in Singapore was rejected. Comments indicate that once the user leaves Thailand, the visa exemption is canceled, and they can obtain a new 30-day visa exemption upon re-entering Thailand. They can extend this new exemption for an additional 30 days while in Thailand. However, extensions cannot be applied for outside of Thailand.

When you enter Thailand you get 30 days entry " visa exempt". That's entry with no visa. You can then extend that at Thai immigration for extra 30 days. You don't extend it by going outside of Thailand to embassy. Once you leave Thailand it is finished/cancelled/ended. But you can re enter and get another 30 days Visa exempt ( no visa).

 if you’re still in Singapore stay there until next week, then return to Thailand (make sure you have a return ticket). You will get a 30 day visa exempt entry, which you can extend inside Thailand for an additional 30 days. This will get you to the last week of February.

If you have a specific date you need to be in Thailand until then time your entry so that date is 60 days away, remembering that the date you arrive is counted as day 1.

If you arrived visa exempt, you will get another one 30days entering again.

Which then can be extended 1 time for 30 more.

No such thing as 30 day visa. You must be talking about visa exempt 30 day stamp on arrival into your passport which can be extended 30 days but only in Thailand
