TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your visa by an additional 30 days in Bangkok, you have two main options: visiting an embassy or making a brief trip across the border. The expiration of your visa typically means it is valid until the end of the day before its stated expiry date.

If my visa is over for example on the 12th of March does that mean it’s over at midnight entering the 12th or at midnight entering the 13th?thanks

It's over at 11:59 PM on the 12th. At midnight it's already the 13th.

Without knowing what kind of Visa you have I can not answer.

Then if you wanted another 30 days you will have to do a border run

I am only here for another 30 days

No, but you can only do border run for Visa Exempt Entry twice a year. If you like to stay long in Thailand it is the best thing to avoid border runs.

Thanks Robert.Is it also an option to go to the Cambodian border or is that a more difficult choice?

30 day tourist visa does not exist, I think you mean a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry (entry without a Visa). You can apply for Extension of Stay once for 30 days at local Immigration office for 1.900 Thb.
