How can I extend my Thai visa if I currently have a 60-day visa with a 30-day extension?

Question

Hello. Probably somebody else already asked about this but I can't find the thread.
In Denmark I got a 60 day thai visa (+30). 
I hear that the + 30 can be given without going out of the country just by going to the immigration.
Is it true?
And since probably I might need an extra 20 days.
Will I get 30 days if I walk at the Mae Sai borde( CR) or any other border?
I remember that at one point they were only giving 15 days if by foot. 
Thank you in advance. 🙏

Hi Vittorio, did you have to provide a return ticket when applying for 60 day visa?

Great! Thank you for your answer 🙏🙏

Yes I got a single entry 60 days visa online.

So,, for the first extra +30 days , I could go to an immigration or just use one of the borders you mentioned.

For the second +30, I will use a border.

Next time I will need to do it by land, it will be in 2025.

So I'm covered.

Thank you so much!🙏

If that's true, you got a single entry tourist visa online by the eVisa website before you came here and you were stamped in for 60 days when you arrived..

You are correct you can go to the immigration office that serves the area where you stay and apply for one 30 day extension for 1900baht

The Mai Sai/Tachileik border has been closed since april 2023 it was open a while but you can't bounce at it

Closest border for people in the north west of thailand to bounce at are two borders with Lao either Chiang Saen/SEZ (Special Economic Zone) or Chiang Khong/Huai Xai

They stopped giving 15 day by land entry back on Jan 1, 2017 and went to a 30 day stamp for land entry with a limit of TWO entries by land per calendar year (Jan 1 - Dec 31)
