TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, the 45-day visa exemption can be extended. It is typically extendable for an additional 30 days. If you are visiting Thai relatives, you may be eligible for a 60-day extension. The cost for extending is approximately 1900 THB. It is important to note that this exemption is not the same as a visa, and extensions can only be granted once.

It's a common misconception that this is a "visa" ... it's an exemption from visa. It's extendable once. The "covid extensions" are not to be counted on ... but keep on trickling through (so far)
