TLDR : Answer Summary
You can only obtain one extension of stay based on tourism with a tourist visa in Thailand. If you wish to stay longer, you'll need to consider doing a visa run or applying for a different type of visa extension, such as one based on family visit or other specific circumstances.

You can only get 1 Extension of Stay based on tourism, but you still can apply for an Extension of Stay based on visiting family if you have Thai family, or based on unable to travel due to Covid.
