TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for the 30-day extension at either location depending on where you file the TM30 form. If you stay in a hotel in Phuket, you can request a screenshot of their TM30 filing and use the local office there for your extension.

You do it wherever a TM30 is filed. If staying in a hotel in Phuket and ask them for a screenshot of their filing one for you you can use the Phuket office.
