How can I extend my 30-day visa exemption in Thailand while managing TM30 requirements from AirBNB stays?

As both Ellie and James pointed out Laotianz can't get 30 day extensions on entries like you can.

If she wants to stay longer, she's gotta bounce out and back at a border to get a new free 30 day entry stamp.

I suggest that you do a BORDER BOUNCE with your Thai wife. She holds a passport from Laos...

"Under the bilateral agreement between Thailand and Laos, Laotian ordinary passport holders, as well as diplomatic/official passport holders, are visa-exempt for stays in Thailand for up to 30 days."

Suggest you do it with an experienced land border bounce service company as they can confirm her eligibility for a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry into Thailand.

Surely she can get the 30 days entering Thailand from Laos.

Our latest information is that there IS an Experienced Service Company doing border bounce entries into Thailand via Cambodia for Laos passport holders

AVOID POIPET BORDER CROSSING if you try to do it yourself...AVOID POIPET !

There's no 30 day extension available INSIDE Thailand for her.

Many accommodation providers will not supply a TM30. If you are checking into a new place just before you apply for the extension/s, ask first whether they can give you a TM30 receipt or not.

You ask your landlord or manager of the hotel for a TM30 receipt, just before you want to apply for a tourism extension. You need to go to the local immigration office that serves the address on your TM30.

Remember, you as an Australian entered on a visa-exempt for 30 days for free can apply for a 30-day tourism extension. But your wife as a Laotian entered on a visa-waiver for 30 days for free cannot apply for a 30-day tourism extension. She can apply for a tourism extension that will be not approved and get up to a 7-day-to-leave country stamp. With this stamp, she may or may not be able to leave Thailand through land borders.
