Answer summary
To apply for a 30-day extension on a Tourist Visa (METV) while staying at a friend's house, you need to ensure that the homeowner has filed a TM30 form with the immigration office, confirming your residence. You must bring the TM30 receipt, your passport, a passport photo, and photocopies of your passport's biodata page and any relevant Thai stamps. It is advisable for the homeowner to accompany you to the immigration office to avoid confusion, especially if they are unfamiliar with the process.

Whoever owns the house needs to have filed a TM30 stating that you are living there. Ask them for a copy of the receipt, take it along with your passport, a passport photo and photocopies of your passport biodata page and any relevant Thai stamps. You can fill in the TM7 in the immigration office, it only takes a couple of minutes

John Bunn the owner must register you within 24 hours of arrival. Does not matter friend, lover, wife must be done. They can go to the local immigration office and do it.

John Bunn the home owner who holds the blue housebook must VISIT Immigration together with you, WITHIN 24 hours OF YOUR ARRIVAL AT THE HOUSE. You are apparently already past this window of time, so you can expect a fine of 2000 Thai Baht
