TLDR : Answer Summary

If your 60-day visa is expiring soon, you have a few options. Many users suggest going for a visa run to neighboring countries like Cambodia or Laos, which allows you to re-enter Thailand with a new visa exemption for another 60 days. Alternatively, you can attempt to extend your visa by visiting the immigration office early, though it's expected to be busy. It's essential to plan accordingly, especially during holiday periods.

I suggest you do a border run, stay in Cambodia or Laos for a holiday, 1-2 weeks. Luang Prabang or Siem Reap. Why bother with the 30-days extension for 1900.- Baht? When you re-enter Thailand visa-exempt, they will stamp you in for another 60 days

Just walk in. Get there as early as possible. Be prepared to wait 7-8 hours for your ticket number to be called.

Immigration closed 27th as posted in their calendar. You can get your extension before the closure if you plan it, if not you're in the post-holiday chaos.
