TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion addresses the extension of a 60-day single entry tourist visa in Thailand, clarifying that a 30-day extension is possible under specific conditions: a free visa exempt entry or a 60-day tourist visa entry, both requiring tourism-related purposes. Additionally, there are concerns raised about certain administrative issues reported at Samui, where individuals with appointments were told the office does not participate in the extension program.

Also there are reports that Samui is telling people who show up with booked appointments that the office "does not participate in the program" and so far no one has stood their ground, said there is no "opt out" of the program and that they want to file a complaint

That is not correct for the 30 day extension. You are getting a 30 day extension in only TWO cases a free visa exempt entry OR a 60 day tourist visa entry and BOTH of those cases the extension is for TOURISM reasons..
