Hello - success today extending 30-day Tourist stamped in on arrival at Lak Si immigration, third floor.  Fortunately, I had booked an online appointment which I highly recommend doing.  WITH appointment and proper documents, turned in 115pm, completed with passport return 200pm. Be advised the TM30 was checked and analyzed at IT SQUARE immigration 1 extension office. 

Hope this report is helpful…

So the 30 day extension for the visa exempt is done only in Lak Si immigration?

Chang Wattana are not handling this anymore?

here's how it works

if you entered the country on a free entry stamp you go to the IT Square Laksi Plaza location for the 30 day extension

if you entered the country on a REAL tourist visa (that you bought from a thai consulate before you arrived) and were stamped in for 60 days when you arrived you go to Chaengwattana for the 30 day extension.

Don’t go to Lak Si with a tourist visa they’ll send you to immigration complex building b. They will extend a 30 day visa exempt stamp for an additional 30 days which is what sounds like happened here.

it was a 30-day stamp, not a tourist visa; therefore, I proceeded to the correct Lak Si office immigration for processing, without issues.
