ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The correct order of visa extensions typically involves applying for a tourism extension (30 days) followed by an extension for visiting Thai family (60 days). However, there have been inconsistencies at various immigration offices. It's advised to check with your local immigration office before proceeding, as some have been known to enforce rules that may restrict the ability to transition from a tourist visa to a family visit extension, particularly if you've already taken a tourism extension.
