What is the current status of the visa on arrival for Thailand, and how can I extend my stay if needed?

The inquiry discusses the current status of Thailand's visa on arrival policy, specifically the duration of stay which is currently 60 days but may revert to 30 days. Responses indicate that while the government is considering changes, as of now, travelers from over 90 countries are still eligible for the 60-day visa exempt stamp, which can be extended for an additional 30 days at an immigration office for a fee. The original poster plans to stay for 45 days and is looking for the best way to do so depending on these potential changes.
