TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is preparing for their first trip back to Thailand, arriving with a 30-day tourist visa on arrival. They plan to extend their visa for another 30 days as soon as possible and seek advice on the best location to do this, particularly mentioning the IT Square Laksi Plaza office near Don Mueang Airport. A comment clarifies that this is the only office for tourist visa extensions in Bangkok, and it is advisable to apply early to avoid unnecessary travel. The user also requests information on traveling to the office and the timing for visits.

You will enter Thailand on visa exempt scheme. You are going to go to IT Square Laksi Plaza temporary office, just next to Lak Si station of SRT Dark Red Line. That is the only office you can apply for your tourism extension in Bangkok.

30 days of Tourism extension would be added to your stamp, there is no downside to going there to apply earlier. You can go anytime you want, even can go there straight from the arriving airport.

See attached for general information.

You will go here.
