I’d like to share my experience at Chaengwhattana immigration. I went to get Covid extension today. I had a stamp until December 21st and I’ve got a new stamp until February 19th. The officer didn’t ask for a return ticket. I was with a baby though, maybe it was the reason they didn’t complicate anything.
Answer summary
A user shared their experience obtaining a COVID-19 extension at Chaengwattana immigration, where they received a new stamp extending their stay until February 19th. The immigration officer did not ask for a return ticket, possibly due to the user being accompanied by a baby. The conversation includes comments reminding that the COVID-19 extension is optional and questions about the user's nationality and visa type.

I'm shutting this down. Remember, the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 is an OPTIONAL extension of stay, and an immigration officer does not need to grant the extension. For more information about this extension of stay, please read:

Did you have to present a letter from your embassy?

No. I think they don’t ask for it anymore. At least I was never asked for that

thanks. I’m going to try on Friday for my daughter’s visa extension in case they decide to stop giving COVID visa after the 29th

I believe the last day they are selling the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 is November 26 (assuming it doesn't get extended).

Different immigration offices have different requirements, but all require 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. A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The forms (each immigration office may have different forms, and want to use their special forms)

4. A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR a print out from your embassy website saying they don’t issue the letters, OR a print out of a letter from the embassy saying they don't issue those letters. [NOTE the "OR's]. Changwattana *WAS NOT* asking for that proof, but bring it just in case.

5. 2x passport pictures

6. 1,900 THB.
