TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your tourist visa in Bangkok, go to Changwattana, Counter J, where you can get a 30-day extension. You will need your passport, copies of your data page, recent visa, most recent stamp, departure card, possibly a TM30 form, the designated forms from immigration, one passport-sized photo, and a fee of 1,900 THB. The extension will be issued on the spot.

You would get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism. You would go to Changwattana, Counter J.

You will need the following:

1. Your passport and:

a. a copy of your data ("picture") page

b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)

c. a copy of your most recent stamp

d. a copy of your departure card

2. [MAYBE] A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The forms (each immigration office may have different forms, and want to use their special forms). For Bangkok Immigration, the extension of stay request form is located in the "Files" section

4. 1x passport pictures

5. 1,900 THB.

The extension of stay will be issued on the spot, and will be added to your current "Admitted to" stamp.

Thank you! do you know if it's possible to book an appointment in advance? I did so for the STV earlier in the year, but the link seems to have expired!

Get there by 9am; all the early risers would have left already, and it should go smoothly. Don't go on a Monday or Friday though.
