ORIGINAL POSTER
Hey Everyone! I came to Thailand and got 45 days and have since gotten a 30 day extension until April 16th through the immigration office, I paid the 1900 baht. I would like to extend again from April 16th to may 16th. So another 30 days. How can I do this?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user seeking to extend their stay in Thailand for another 30 days was informed that they could not extend their current visa again unless they left the country. The advice given was to do a 'border bounce' to obtain a new free entry stamp, which can then be extended for another 30 days. Other options include applying for extensions if certain criteria like marriage or having Thai children are met.

How about stating where you are in thailand
@Colton ******
so people can recommend the closest border for you to bounce out and back at?

No. You can only extend it one time. A border bounce is possible. Leave Thailand and come back in and get 30 days exempt.

short answer, you can't ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

That 30 day extension on a free entry stamp is a "one and done" type of thing

you need to exit/re-enter the country to get a NEW free entry stamp and you can extend that for 30 days once like you did on this entry.

You could get a 60 day extension IF you were married to a thai, or had half thai children, but other than that, you need to border bounce for a new free entry stamp
