Does anyone here actually got the 60 day Covid visa extension. All people I know are getting only 30 days... in Phuket, Chiang Mai and Samui at least. 

Is the Temporary Visa extension centre in Bangkok the only one doing the 60 days?? 

Did anyone get 60 days in Phuket?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion centers around the differing lengths of Covid visa extensions being issued at various immigration offices in Thailand. Many report receiving only 30-day extensions, while some have successfully obtained a 60-day extension. The effectiveness of the Temporary Visa extension center in Bangkok is questioned, as well as the possibilities of obtaining a 60-day extension in locations like Phuket and Samui. It is noted that the decision may depend on the discretion of the immigration officers.

Just do it with an agent for god sake... 3.5k baht hassle free.

Agent allows you to be hassle-free. I know the 60 days extension is 1.9k baht but it is location dependent. For a little bit more you can get it without any worry. You can also get other type of extension like medical, or visa like Non-O or Volunteer based on Non-O.

People at MOST immigration offices (other than those 3 renegade ones you listed) are applying, getting a 14 day under consideration stamp and then going back and getting the 60 day extension stamp inked in dated from the date their current stamp expires.

why those 3 are different than the others than? And how long after the 14 day under consideration you have to go back to get the 60 day?

No idea why those offices are doing it different

, there are OVER 70 offices in the country.

As far as the other question you go back on the date stamped ON the under consideration stamp, you don't go before it and you don't go after it. That's the date you go back :) .

any idea what % get part 2 of that? Does under consideration mean decent chance of not getting one, or more of a formality and everyone gets it?

It's up to the discretion and mood of the immigration officer. Their announcement stated UP TO 60 days.
