TLDR : Answer Summary
When arriving in Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption, you cannot request a 30-day extension at the airport. Extensions must be applied for at local immigration offices where your lodging has filed a TM30 report. Most immigration offices allow applications when there are 30 days or less remaining, but some locations like Jomtien and Koh Samui restrict applications to the last week of your stay.

If in Pattaya, you can not apply for extension, at Jomtien, until 7 days before current entry runs out.

You can't do anything at the airport.

If you want an extension you'll need to go to the local immigration office to where you're staying and where your lodging has filed a TM30 for you.

Most offices allow you to apply when you have 30 days or less left, but Jomtien and Koh Samui only allow you to apply during your last week.
