TLDR : Answer Summary
Marc is seeking advice on whether his son can obtain a 30-day extension for his tourist visa, which is about to expire, at any immigration office in Bangkok. The comments clarify that his son actually has a visa-exempt entry and needs to apply at IT Square Laksi Plaza rather than the main immigration office at Chaengwattana. Several users provide details on required documents and the procedures, including the importance of applying on time and understanding the distinction between tourist visas and visa-exempt entries.
And this post is exactly why correct terminology is so critical. ๐ฎ ๐
I highly doubt the O/P's son is here on a "tourist visa" <- that they bought from a thai consulate in their country before they flew in. ๐

OK, so he would like a 30 day extension, yet he will have overstayed. If you are lucky he will pay the fine and get the extension, however, they could just tell him to leave the country. he could have applied for the extension up to 30 days before (depending on office), so he did have plenty of time to do it.
