TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses options for extending a stay in Thailand for Muay Thai training in Phuket. The person's son has already received a 30-day extension after the initial 60 days and aims to remain until December. Suggestions from the community include obtaining an education visa from the Muay Thai school, checking on potential COVID-19 related extensions available until July 29, and consulting local immigration offices for specific extension procedures.

Well until July 29th he can apply for a 60 day "unable to travel due to covid" extension (that's the day the current program runs out)

Other than that, while he might WANT to stay until Dec, unless he finds a Muay Thai school that will get him an in country ED visa, he's gonna find it hard to stay

Is there any consensus that they might continue the 60 day extensions past july? Can you do the 60 day extension without having done the 30 day extension first?

no one knows until they announce if they're going to extend it (which they usually do just before the current program runs out)

AND some offices will let a person go straight onto a 60 day covid extension without having gotten the 30 day extension first, BUT some make you take the 30 days first before you can switch to a covid extension. Check with your immigration office

remember people on visa exempt entries DO NOT go to the main immigration office at Chaengwattana for any extensions, they go to the alternate immigration office out by Muang Thong Thani Impact Arena

at this location.
