What do I need to extend my 30-day visa exemption in Thailand?

Question

Hi All,

Im currently visiting from the Us on 30 day visa exempt. I was planning on doing a 30 day extension and I just wanted to confirm a couple things. I’m in Bangkok and my understanding is that I have to go to Muang Thong Thani immigration office. Is this the correct place to go?

I’m going with my passport. My TM6 Departure card and a copy of the TM 30, TM7, And the 1900 THB. Will I also need my vaccination card, departure flight details, and proof of Covid insurance covering my extended stay? Am I missing anything else? Thanks in advance.
