Question; from October 1st you can stay 45 days (without visa). Before it was 30 days. You can extend one time at the immigration, is that for 30 days (like it was before) or also 45 days?
Answer summary
As of October 1st, travelers can stay in Thailand for 45 days without a visa; however, the extension for this period remains at 30 days as per current regulations. This means that, if eligible for the visa exemption, one can stay up to 75 days without a visa (45 days initial stay plus a 30-day extension). Specific conditions apply for those married to Thai citizens or with Thai dependents, which may allow for longer stays.

Yep. If you're eligable for the visa exemption. You have to apply for and pay for the 30 days extention of stay but it's rarely refused

One extension for 30 days. But we can't say for sure until the law is published which it has not been yet.
