Can I get a 1-year extension for a Non-Immigrant O visa in Koh Phangan?
FYI : Immigration in Koh phangan does NOT provide 1 year extension of stay for non immigrant O visa (must go in Koh Samui)
Answer summary
Currently, the Immigration Office in Koh Phangan does not provide a 1-year extension of stay for Non-Immigrant O visas; extensions must be obtained in Koh Samui. An inquiry confirmed that, although the office plans to offer Non O retirement extensions in the next few months, they are not available at this moment.

Update: I inquired at the Immigration Office, Koh Phangan, today re: Non O retirement extensions. I was told by a very helpful member of immigration staff there that because they are newly opened they are not providing extensions of this kind AT THE MOMENT. The chief Immigration Officer there plans to provide them soon, maybe within the next 2 or 3 months. So, no holding our breath, let's wait & hope.
