TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your visa by 30 days in Thailand, you will need the following documents: your passport, a copy of the passport front page, a copy of the visa stamp page, a copy of the TM6 form, a filled TM7 form, two photos, and a fee of 1,900 Thai baht. It's crucial to note the type of visa you currently hold as extensions depend on the visa category. For instance, extensions may not be available for Visa on Arrival or Non-Immigrant Visas. You should apply for the extension at your local immigration office, ideally no more than three days before your current visa expires.

Joe Earls ... I have reopened commenting.

If you have any added questions...please ask.

BTW...check with your local immigration office.

Some...like CW in Bangkok... allow the 30.day extensions to be applied for as early as 45 days before...but others like in Jomtien Pattaya only grant them up to 3 days before your ending permission to stay date.

It appears, we assume, it maybe, I guess, my crystall ball tells, my tea leaves showed the answer:

If you entered Thailand and your current stay is:

Visa on Arrival, No extension available,

Visa Exempt Entry, possible 30 days Extension in case of Tourism.

Tourist Visa, possible 30 days Extension in case of Tourism.

a Non Immigrant Visa, no 30 day extension possible.

Thai Elite Visa, no 30 day Extension possible.

If you are married to a Thai National or have children with Thai Nationality you might get 60 days Extension of Stay depending on your current stay.

To many options to answer directly, that is why people start guessing and you might end up with incorrect advice.

For 30 days extension You need ONLY:

-passport

-copy of passport front page

-copy of stamp/visa page

-copy of TM6 form

-filled TM7 form

-two photos

-1,900 Thai baht fee

You DON’T need to fill TM30/TM28

But where in Thailand are you applying for the extension?

That's assuming he's on a tourist visa/ visa exempt of course. If he's on a Non-B, or (I think) certain Non-Os (i.e. volunteering) I don't think he can extend it.

Which is why I would love to know what visa he's on.
