Look at the stamp in your passport...

Does it have the words

UNDER CONSIDERATION ???

WITH a specified date for you to return to your Thai immigration office ???

The stamp says July 29...

Look at the writings on the stamp...

Originally wrote July 30

Strikes it out and enters the corrected date you need to return as July 29th.

Thanks for letting us know you got a 30 day Extension of Stay based on being unable to travel. What kind of permit to stay you had to be inside Thailand and how many times did you already applied for Extensions of Stay?
