that is a concern, so perhaps surprising that Thai immigration are stamping passports for 45 days before published there?

What!? So can get a 45 day extension on top and not the 30 we’ve been told or have I misunderstood?

it depends on the top hand written thingy on the stamp: w30 - extension 30 days, w45 - extension 45 days, ww with signature - non extendable, leave the country within your expiry date. Been talking with several immigration officers lately :)))
