ORIGINAL POSTER
What do people do regarding 30 day visa exemptions and then extending that by 30 days regarding flights. Do you..

1) book your flight after the 30 day exemption. But that means changing flights to a later date and loosing money

2) book your flight at the end of 60 days ( 30 exempt + 30 extension ) but when you land at airport immigration will see you have not a return flight within your 30 exemption ?

I'm not sure what to do ?

Ps British passport landing at Suvarnabhumi

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
When traveling to Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption, it's important to consider your flight arrangements carefully. There are two main options: 1) Book your flight after your 30-day exemption period, which may require changing your flight later and incurring fees, or 2) Book your flight for after a total of 60 days (30-day exemption plus a 30-day extension). However, with the second option, immigration may question your return flight since it doesn't fall within the initial 30-day exemption. The best approach would depend on your travel plans and preferences regarding potential change fees.
