I think Chiang Mai Immigration also asks for TM30 form. Any direct experiences?

To get an extension of stay you need to bring your passport, a passport picture, a copy of your ID page of your passport + of your visa + entry stamp. You also need to fill in a form (TM7, which you can get at the immigration). The fee is 1900 Baht. It will take some time depending on the queue at the immigration office.

It should link to the TM7 that was uploaded to the files here, but it seems like it won’t work. I deleted it.

So you came into Thailand with the 30 day Visa Exempt Entry (Not a Visa), then got a Single Entry Tourist Visa and got stamped in for 60 days. You can apply at Immigration Office in Chang Mai from 45 days prior, till the Admitted Until date in your passport. Going early is no problem as the 30 day Extension is added on your Admitted Until date.
