Phuket extension report:

1. There are multiple queues depending on whether you are getting a normal extension to your tourist Visa or if you're getting an emergency visa.

If you are getting a normal 30 day extension to your visa exempt or any other tourist Visa, line up and wait under the pink tent by the doors to room 101. Standard forms apply.

If you are getting an emergency extension, and only an emergency extension to your TOURIST VISA OR visa exemption, bring 2x copies embassy letter, pictures, tm7, passport biodata page, visa page and departure card.

IF

You have a work permit type Visa, you need to cancel it with the proper authority and bring the cancelation documents with you.

If you have an education visa, you need a letter from your school stating your course is complete.

Last but not least, they are only taking about 10days each day. For today, anyone with a Visa expiring after April 8th was told to come back next week.

TLDR : Answer Summary
In Phuket, the process for extending a tourist visa varies depending on the type of extension. For a normal 30-day extension, applicants should queue under the pink tent at room 101, while those seeking an emergency extension must prepare specific documents, including embassy letters and copies of their passport. Additionally, individuals with work permits must cancel their visas and provide cancellation documents, while educational visa holders need a letter confirming course completion. It's important to note that only a limited number of extensions are processed daily.

I think you got it wrong... Normall visa B holders with work permit can extend it with the company papers requested. These with work permit 90 days and normal visa run.. Need a letter from their embassy

By 2 copies of the embassy letter, do you mean 1 original copy and 1 printed email? Or 1 scanned copy of the original?

I have no idea what a work permit type visa is and how people have to cancel this, if cancelled they are not allowed to work anymore? Sounds very strange.
