you mean you entered last from Cambodia and got a new 30 day visa exempt entry stamp when you came in. That's fine, shouldn't have a problem getting one 30 day extension

Will I be able to take another 30 day extension if I already took one before I went to Cambodia?

yep, you can get one 30 day extension on every ENTRY to thailand. So if you're here on a new 30 day entry stamp you can get one 30 day extension for 1900baht.

I think they thought you wanted a 60 day covid extension.

BUT your embassy gives that letter easily, email them and they'll send you one if you want

Thank you now I understand. Maybe they misunderstood and only saw the old extension they gave and not the one from cambodia because the stamps on my passport is a mess and not really in order

You didn't get ANY extension when you went to Cambodia, you got a tiny RED entry stamp and you need to show them that stamp so you can apply for a 30 day extension (without the embassy letter).

Find THIS stamp you got when you entered Thailand from the Cambodia border

you got in on a 30 day FREE visa exempt entry

you should be able to get ONE 30 day extension from it for 1900baht at the immigration office without any letter from your embassy,.

Did you already get a 30 day extension once on the entry stamp you have at the immigration office?
