If you use the "Test & Go scheme" but use the Visa Waiver for entry, can you still extend it an additional 30 days like before? Also, does Thailand Pass allow this as an option in the App? Thx in advance. :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, if you enter Thailand using the Visa Waiver under the Test & Go scheme, you can still extend your stay by an additional 30 days as before. However, you'll need to show proof of an onward travel ticket when boarding your flight, although there are reports that some travelers haven't been asked for this documentation.

My friend from Italy arrived yesterday and wasn’t asked for an onward flight. Thailand pass doesn’t ask for it neither.

You can extend, but you'll still need to show onward travel ticket within your original 30 days to board your flight.

My return flight was in five months. It worked for me. YMMV

it works for some, but many have been refused boarding as the rules say must be able to show onward travel within the period of your initial stamp. Also if your flight was 5 months later it doesn't sound like you came in on tourist or visa exempt. Other visas don't have this rule.

no onward tickets needed in the Thailand Pass system, and futhermore Non Imm-xxx visas don't require onward travel, they are long term visas.
