TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired if they could extend their 45-day visa exempt entry, which was previously extended for 30 days, by applying for another extension at immigration or if they would need to leave the country and return. Responses confirmed that another 30-day extension is possible under the visa exemption rule, but cautioned that repeated extensions could lead to potential questioning and complications regarding further stays.

Eventually you’ll be pulled aside questioned and possibly be denied entry,if you want to stay long time in Thailand you need to purchase the proper visa

Yes you qualify. Every visa exempt entry is eligible for one 30 day extension.

then you left the country and entered on visa exempt again. So you're on a different entry.
