TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can extend a tourist visa exemption at the Ayutthaya immigration office. Users have reported positive experiences with polite and helpful staff there.

landlord if you stay in a condo/apartment building, otherwise guesthouse owner/hotel owner etc.

The benefit of being a tourist, can ignore the rules and find another office where it is not enforced. Good luck.

Tod and Robert don't live in Ayutthaya. I told you the absolute facts and requirements for the Ayutthaya office, if you are so concerned I suggest going in at 8.30AM tomorrow and asking what they require.
Robert *******
It could be that Ayutthaya Immigration Office is enforcing the address registration which should be done by your hotel or landlord, house owner, or yourself within 24 hours after arrival.

...can you confirm please? First I've heard of this! TIA

I used this office for several years, I assure you its a requirement, you need a copy of the Thai ID from where you are staying, along with a form filled in by them. The overstay waiver is a nonsense form they will give you there.

I've still not found anything saying it's a requirement for an extension, nor the overstay waiver. Do you mean I just tell them where I'm staying? I'm a normal tourist!

Ayutthaya are very polite and helpful been there couple of times now

@Che***
go to Internet cafe check the immigration website and print the forms you need or go to immigration Ayutthaya explain what you want they’ll give you the forms for you honestly/hostel to fill out and bring back. Surly you haven’t left it until the last minute ?
Ed ********
You must have a stamp for entry on arrival ? That’s the 30 days you want extended isn’t it.

I’m not so clued up wait until the admins see and answer you.

I've googled what's needed. No mention of overstay form or landlord.

@Chris *******
form filled out by landlord? To renew a 30 day exemption? Overstay waiver? Not heard that before. I dont have a landlord!
Chris ********
the form is TM7 if I remember right
Chris ********
+ 1 photo
Chris ********
Ayutthaya Office docs required

copy of passport

copy of visa/stamp and departure slip

form filled out by landlord and copy of their ID

you also have to fill out an overstay waiver form
Chris ********
super chill office too, never busy unless you're unlucky and pick the day dozens of monks or students turn up at once. FYI though you need a thai to fill out a form for you and provide their ID card (guesthouse or landlord)
