I’m currently on a 60 day tourist visa from USA to Thailand. When’s the earliest that I can extend it to another 30 days?

Can I go extend it right away?

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can extend your 60-day tourist visa for an additional 30 days when you have 30 days or less remaining on your existing visa. Larger immigration offices in places like Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai may allow extensions when you have up to 45 days left.

Nearly every immigration office in Thailand will accept extension applications when you have 30 days or less left of your existing stamp.

The larger offices like Bangkok, phuket and Chiang Mai will let you go when you have 45 days left.

okay so what you are saying is that I can’t go extend the first week when I’m there in Thailand. I would have to wait until the last 30-45 days or so depending on where I extend it at?

yes. If you go before then they'll just send you away and tell you to come back
