Can my friend get a 30-day extension on a visa-exempt stay in Thailand?

A friend who arrived in Bangkok on a visa-exempt entry and needs to stay for five days beyond the allowed 30 days can apply for a 30-day extension. The extension can typically be obtained at any immigration office in Thailand. Required documentation generally includes a completed application form, passport with the current visa exemption stamp, and potentially a fee, often around 1,900 THB. It's also advisable to check if there are additional requirements based on the friend's nationality.
