TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can extend your visa at the Chumphon immigration office instead of Bangkok. It's important to ensure that your accommodation is in the same district as the immigration office and that the TM30 reporting is done. You'll need to provide proof of your accommodation when applying for the extension.

You can extend you stay based off your visa exemption (same as those with regular tourist visa) at every immigration office of your choosing. However, check into some accommodation (in the same district as the immigration office you choose) a night before and make sure they do the TM.30 reporting. You need to have proof of that (screenshot or paper receipt) - as some immigration offices require it even for a regular extension.

Or if you already stay in Chumphon, make your current hotel or landlord does the TM.30 reporting (they can do it online or on a paper form in person) and share the proof of successful reporting with you. No need to check in to another place then. ๐Ÿ˜‰
