TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for a 30-day extension of your visa exempt entry 30 to 45 days before your visa expires. However, if you wish to apply for the COVID extension, which lasts 60 days, you must not have the ability to extend your current visa. This extension can be applied for straight after quarantine.

Yes, in Bangkok you can apply 30-45 days before your entry expires.

Extension of a visa exempt entry is 30 days. A "covid unable to travel" extension is 60 days. If you have the ability to extend your current visa they won't give you the 60 day covid extension.

The 60 day Covid Extension is only until 30th March - unless they extend it of courset
