I’m arriving on a Tourist Visa on October 31. I’ll want to extend it 30 days. Since day 60 falls on Sunday the 29th I’ll apply on Thursday 26th. 

Question is will my 30 day extension go from the 26th(the date I’m at immigration) or 30 days out from the end of my tourist visa date( the 29th)?

Answer summary

When you apply for a 30-day extension of your Tourist Visa in Thailand, the extension will be added from the expiration date indicated in your current visa stamp, not from the date you apply. Therefore, if your current Tourist Visa expires on October 29th and you apply on October 26th, your 30-day extension will start from October 30th.

Don't leave it until the last couple of days, go early (unless it's Jomtien and a couple of others where you have to wait until the last week)

They add on the days. Most offices allow you to apply 30 days prior to you current stamp. Some will require in the last week.
