TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is possible to apply for a 30-day extension on a visa-exempt entry the same day you arrive at I.T. Square. However, it is suggested to apply for a 60-day tourist visa before travelling to Thailand, as it may be a more economical and convenient option.

In that case you should apply for a 60 days tourist visa before leaving home, which in certain countrys can be done in a few days

And is the better, cheaper solution.

You can apply the same day you arrive

Brandon another member suggested you might be able to help me understand how to navigate the visa process I was going to attempt. Would it be alright if I messaged you. Thanks

someone told me the Jomtien IO sent him away and told him to come get a 30 day extension closer to his exemption end date. Like less than a week.

@Frances *******
that's Jomtien. The op specifically asked about Bangkok which allows applications up to 45 days in advance.

no chance Bangkok office could ever change policy ๐Ÿ˜…?

@Frances *******
greater chance of Jomtien changing policy to more closely match other offices.
