TLDR : Answer Summary
You can extend your 30-day visa exemption once for an additional 30 days at your local immigration office in Thailand. If you want to stay longer than 60 days in total, you will need to apply for a NON-O visa after utilizing the exemption and extension options.

Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

days or less, so you can go anytime. BUT several offices including Jomtien, Samui, allow you to apply for a tourism extension only within the last week of your stamp. Check your local office along with their requirements.

You can as explained only extend your visa exemption one time and get additional 30 days on your visa exemption. The only visa you can apply for in Thailand is a Non O visa. So if you want to stay for 60 more days in Thailand after your exemption runs out, you don’t have any other options then get another 30 days visa exemption.
If you are sure you entered on visa-exempt for 30 days, not on visa-waiver, you can apply for a 30 days tourism extension ONCE at your local immigration office <- that means the office services your current address on your latest TM30 in Thailand.
This is general information for tourism extension, may vary by the immigration office. Check with your local office for their specific requirements.
