Is it advisable to go 14 days in advance for your 60 covid extension?

I'm in Phuket and have heard you lose the remaining days you have left on your current visa(exemption in my case).

Also I've heard of some friends having trouble obtaining there's recently in bangkok and actually being denied. The reason given was that their home country did not have any travel restrictions currently and they could fly home. Kinda freaked me out😬

Any experiences with this?
