TLDR : Answer Summary
The ability to extend your stay after arriving in Thailand under the visa exemption through the Phuket Sandbox will depend on the discretion of the immigration officer you encounter. Generally, you may receive a 30-day extension first. An alternative suggestion is to enter Thailand with a TR visa, which allows a 60-day stay followed by a 30-day extension.

All depends on office/ immigration officer normally they will want to give you the 30 day extension first that you are entitled.

Why not get a TR visa 60 days then get the 30 day extension.
