What are my options for obtaining an extra 30 days in Thailand after my Non-Imm 'O' visa has expired?

Non-Immigrant O Visa Thai Visa Extension Visa Run Options Immigration Advice Border Crossing Tips Visa Bounce Thailand Visa Regulations

Visited Phu Nam Ron/Myanmar for a 'bonus' 90 days of a Non-Imm 'O' to find it expired the previous day, was foolishly working on the date of the entry stamp!?! They gave me 30 days, I need a further 30 days before I return to the UK. I'm not sure if I can do a 'visa bounce' at this border crossing or what other convenient 30 day solutions are available other than getting on a plane? I have no 30-day/Tourist stamps other than this one. Any advice is appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on obtaining an additional 30 days in Thailand after their Non-Immigrant 'O' visa expired. They mistakenly worked off the entry stamp date, resulting in a situation where they've only received a 30-day visa upon re-entry from Myanmar. Commenters advised that a 30-day extension could be applied for at an immigration office for 1900 baht, and highlighted the common confusion regarding the visa dates.

They use some for telling us about the purpose of the passport and other crap.

I know. Im just trying to conserve . I plan to get one next year. There isn’t much to a British passport. 48 pages. And even then they aren’t all for visas.

You aren't the first person to confuse the "admitted until" date with the "enter before" date on a visa :(

You can go to the immigration office and apply for a 30 day extension on that 30 day visa exempt entry for 1900baht.

you don't need to border-bounce again. Just get the 30 day extension instead.
