TLDR : Answer Summary

A US citizen currently in Thailand on a 30-day tourist visa can extend their stay for an additional 30 days. To do this, they must visit the immigration office in Bangkok (Chaengwattana Immigration Office). Required documents include a passport, a recent photo, a copy of the passport ID page, and the 'Admitted to Stay' stamp page. The cost for the extension is 1,900 Baht. It is advisable to book a return flight after confirming the extension to avoid complications.

You have to apply for an Extension of Stay at the Immigration Office, you need passport picture, copy id page and Admitted to Stay stamp page from your passport. It cost 1.900 Thb and you get another 30 days on top of your current stay. Location in Bangkok:
