ORIGINAL POSTERHope get some help.
I just went to extend my stay, I need 25 days before I go back to work, but they only give me 7 days even i just did 1 extention last year.
What would be the best option to get some more days.
Can I make a family visit, have thai sons, or a border run would be easier?
Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is facing a situation where they were granted only a 7-day extension on their stay in Thailand, despite needing 25 more days. The responses suggest that their only viable options now are to leave the country within the given time frame or to conduct a border run to re-enter Thailand with a new visa-exempt entry. It was also indicated that trying to extend based on family ties was no longer an option since the request for a second tourist extension was denied.

Your only option now is a border bounce to get a new visa exempt entry. You missed the boat with an extension to visit Thai family as that was the only further extension you could have got but you requested a second tourist extension which is not allowed hence your 7 days to leave stamp.

What kind of stay do you have and for what kind of extension of stay did you apply or what is the reason that the Immigration Officer told you when they not approved your application.
