When should I apply for a 30-day visa extension in Thailand if I entered with a visa exemption?
Dear All, I arrived on the 16th with visa exempt (US) and my passport had Oct 15th stamped on it. In order to maximize my stay, when should I apply for the 30 days visa extension? Do I need to apply in Bangkok or can I wait until I arrived to Chiangmai early next month? Thank you in advance.

You can wait till CM. You can extend anywhere you actually stay at that moment.

By the way, the day you arrive is day1, so the stamp is correct, if you had any doubts.
