Hiya

I am in Thailand - I have a UK passport and entered on the 30-day, no visa needed entry.

I have heard that it’s possible to stay slightly longer (max 30 extra days) via a specific process - anyone know how to do this?

Many thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your stay in Thailand for an additional 30 days beyond the initial 30-day entry without a visa, you can go to your nearest immigration office. The extension will cost 1900 baht. It's advisable to check the location of your nearest immigration office since there are over 80 in Thailand.

this is a general idea of the process and what's required

just go to immigration office and pay 1900 baht to get 30 days more

you go to your nearest immigration office and apply for a 30 day extension for 1900baht.

how about saying WHERE you are in thailand so we can tell you what office to go to (seeing as there are OVER 80 offices) ?

there's an immigration office ON the Island of Misfit Toys (aka Koh Phangan) AND there's one on Samui too.

Go when you have 2 weeks or less left on your current stamp, you don't lose any days going early as the 30 day extension is added to your current expiration date
