TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is in a situation where their 30-day visa is expiring, and they cannot leave for Phnom Penh due to their passport having less than 6 months validity. Commenters suggest going to the immigration office to apply for a 30-day extension for 1,900 THB and share the necessary documents required for the application. However, they also point out potential issues with timing since the extension may not cover the user's flight back to the UK.

Just so you know, you're still gonna come up short on time getting the 30 day extension today.

30 days from today is March 29th and you said you're flying out April 2.

AND with a passport under 6 months in validity there is NO border country that you can bounce at to get a new 30 day visa exempt entry. You're gonna come up 4 days short :O

Just to make sure, you live in Pattaya, right? You can't pick and choose your local immigration office.

I'm assuming your passport is from the UK, right? I would go to the immigration office and purchase an extension of stay for 1,900THB on your current visa exempt. It'll give you another 30 days to get a new passport.

Seeing as there is NO 30 day visa I'd say go to the immigration office and apply for a 30 day extension on your 30 day visa exempt entry
