TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your 60-day visa in Thailand, visit the local immigration office where you reside. Bring your passport, a passport photo, photocopies of your passport's data and stamp pages, and a TM30 receipt from your accommodation. It's important to note that you are extending your permission to stay, not the visa itself.

what 60 days visa is that? You don't extend a visa - not possible. You extend your permission to stay. You go to your local immigration office. You find it on Google maps - address opening hours etc.

Do you really have a visa that you paid for because if you are in Bangkok that will determine which Immigration Office you get your extension from?

Nigel David Wells Worth is subjective, if the advice always given is seek an agent then this group loses it's value very fast. It's your worth, and others like you, I question.

You go to the immigration office that serves the area where you live. You'll need your passport, passport photo, photocopies of your data and stamp pages of your passport and a copy of the TM30 receipt from the place you're staying
