TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about extending their visa, which is set to expire on October 27th, just before their flight on November 27th. After clarifications about their visa status, it was established that they could apply for a 30-day extension at the Bangkok immigration office for a fee of 1,900 baht, which would extend their stay until November 29th. Key advice was provided about the process, including the need to check operating hours and locate the main immigration office on Chaengwattana Road.

Thanks for the picture of the Admitted to Stay stamp at least that cleares the different dates in your reply's. If you go to Immigration before 31 Oct you can apply for a 30 day Extension of Stay, cost is 1.900 Thb.

that relief never been so stressed before

There is no reason to wait until the 30th to go to the immigration office for your extension, They ADD the 30 days on to your current expiration date.

So if you go for an extension it will be good until Nov 29th

Sorry to ask, but if you can not afford a border run how do you expect to eat, drink and live for another 30 days inside Thailand without money?

You said you were stamped in until Oct 27th BUT when I count 59 days from Sept 2nd you should have been stamped in until Oct 31. What is the date on the Admitted Until stamp <- that you got when you stamped in

It says on passport valid till 31st can i not go on 30th in Bangkok get extension and will that not cover plane on 27th
Tod *********
nope, you got two choices, period;

you either border bounce for the 30 day visa exempt entry (paying for the cambodian visa too)

OR

you go to the immigration office and pay 1900baht for the 30 day extension

Actually you have 3 choices, you go on overstay and rack up a 500baht a day fine for the days you're here after your stamp expires.
Tod *********
are you sure your "admitted until stamp" <- that you got when you stamped into thailand says Oct 27th?

I ask that because IF you entered on a single entry tourist visa on Sept 2nd, you would have been stamped in until Oct 31 (59 days).
Tod *********
@Nik ******
yep, my mistake I was wrong, I mis-counted the dates, I know you have a single entry tourist visa and were stamped in for 60 days from the date you arrived.

BUT

that doesn't' change the choices you have right now to extend your stay.

Always nice when people remember my name. I use the search option for it. Married to a Thai wife who pays for a holiday to Cambodia, it came out the the marriage was not there and now the paid holiday is also not there. My changing advice at that moment on changing statements will stay the same. Do a border run for a new 30 day Visa Exempt Entry.

I checked my stamp till 31st October so will go on 29th or 30th but thank you

27th oct to 27th Nov is Not possible

1. Oktober has 31 Days, not 30! 27th oct +30= 25th Nov. Always count the days..

2. 27th Oktober is a saturday..so do not forget to check opening hours of your Immigration Office.

sorry, my Mistake

I arrived in Bangkok on 2nd of September already had tourist visa to extend extra 30 days that's were it ends 27th of October

What's my best option

You might still be in a spot of bother...any extension from 27 Oct will only take you to 26 Nov, 30 days, it's not a one calendar month extension...so it won't cover you up until your flight.
