Yes, so it is impossible to get an extension if your visa is still valid, or if you do not have the necessary funds for 2 months.

they have already been to Koh Tao. It’s a normal (Surat Thani) immigration service but you don’t have to travel to them.

The rest of rules and requirements all still apply if you want an extension of stay (no free amnesty or free stamps just because).

foreigners allowed to stay (note the word "allowed"!) without registration will simply be rejected. there are rules to follow and no free visa handout to everybody including chicken wings with french fries and sour cream dip
