My friend is coming to visit Thailand on a visa free 30 day basis. From South Africa.  Can he extend if he would like to stay longer?

A South African visitor on a visa-free 30-day basis can extend their stay once for an additional 30 days by paying a fee of 1900 baht. After this extension, they must leave Thailand.
