TLDR : Answer Summary

It is fully permissible to enter Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption and then apply for a 30-day extension. This practice is considered normal for tourists and comes without any restrictions on how often it can be done.

Yes, that is perfectly fine. Coming in on a 60 day visa exempt entry and then doing a 30 day extension once per year is fully within the rules. There is no restriction against doing one 60 + 30 session per year, and it is still considered normal tourist use.
