Never done a visa exempt exemption, but as a generalization Phangan office is very keen on requesting tm30 generally

this is the typical things required at MOST offices. You have to realize that's a small b/s renegade office on that island that has a 'captive audience' because those islanders don't like even slogging to Samui for their extensions . .. ...

Tourism extension is not difficult at any immigration office. This is general information for tourism extension. check with them, Phangan is not that big island to hard to get to the office.
