Why does Koh Pha Ngan immigration seem to reduce extension days when applying close to visa expiration?

Koh Pha Ngan immigration is not adding the extension days on the date where the visa ends, they “steal” days, means when you come seven days before the visa ends, they “reduce” the extension seven days.

How can that be?
Summary so far
Users are confused about the discrepancy in extension days when applying for a visa extension close to the expiration date in Koh Pha Ngan. It appears that immigration may reduce the number of extension days granted if the application is made too close to the visa's end date, potentially leaving individuals with fewer days than expected. Comments highlight the importance of the type of extension being applied for and suggest that sometimes days are lost when transitioning between different types of visas.

Four days ago you posted..

"Good morning,

i entered Thailand on a 60 day tourist visa and i am now on the 30 days extension.

Am i able to get another extension on that as i am needing 10 days more before i fly out (ticket already fixed)?

Thank you for advise."

So may I ask...

If you have a flight ticket leaving Thailand in 10 days...

What's the problem ?

SOMETIMES when you go from say an extension based on tourism, to one based on say covid, they start it the same day you apply (meaning you DO lose the days you have left) BUT when they give you an extension for the same reason they should add it to your current expiration (tourist/tourist, covid/covid, etc)

yes, i understand this.

But Koh Pha Ngan immigration says, if you are not coming on the last day of your visa or visa excempt for your extension, you will LOOSE days.

And i don’t know why.

how about we sort out what it is you're exactly doing?

What stamp were you on BEFORE you applied for the extension AND what extension were you applying for?
