TLDR : Answer Summary

A user from the Philippines seeks advice on how to extend the stay of family members in Thailand, specifically a senior mother and an adult cousin, who are currently in the country under a 30-day visa exemption. Responses suggest that the cousin can apply for a 30-day extension based on tourism, while the mother may qualify for a Non-Immigrant O visa if proper documentation from the user's employer is provided.

The can apply for a 30 day Extension of Stay based on tourism.

an adult cousin can not get any visa based on you working in Thailand.

Your mother could get the Non Immigrant O visa based on a foreigner with a long stay, but that also needs documentation of your employer, talk to them for further information.
