How soon can I apply for my third COVID extension in Thailand before my current visa expires?

Question

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your help with my inquiry. I arrived in Thailand on Sept. 18th on a visa exempt (on-arrival) and have since done a 30 day extension followed by 2 COVID extensions. I am hoping to get a third COVID extension before my current one expires on March 29. Does anyone know how soon I can go in to apply for my third COVID extension? I read somewhere on here that I can do it within 30 days of the expiration date, but also found another resource that says I can only apply within 5 days of my expiration date. 

When I can re-apply will determine whether I will try to do it at Surat Thani or Hua Hin. If anyone has any insight on the processes at those offices, I am all ears. Thanks again for your time and guidance.

Go in on or before March 25. That's the last day they're available

You'll find different answers because it's different by office. Generally it's 30 days so you're okay to try soon and see what they say.

Within 30 days of the current one expiring. They may ask for a fully paid exit ticket
