TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the confusion regarding the H.30 visa, which is not an official Thai visa but likely refers to a 30-day visa exempt entry stamp. Users clarify that this stamp is given upon entry into Thailand without a prior visa and can be extended by visiting an immigration office. The inquiry about potential additional benefits is tied to the APEC program, but it ultimately reiterates that it's similar to other 30-day entry allowances for tourists.

there is no 30 day tourist visa :O That stamp is a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp. Meaning you showed up here without having bought a visa from a thai consulate before hand and were stamped in for free for 30 days.

You can go to the immigration office and get a 30 day extension on that stamp for 1900baht.

This a US visa (I think), and not Thai visa related.
