Why was my entry stamp in Thailand only for 59 days instead of 60 days?
I entered yesterday at 2pm. IO asked how long I’d be staying. I tell her I’m leaving on Oct 16. She stamped until Nov 2nd.
Not 60 but I only needed an extra 4 days to cover my plans.

So why didn't you get 60 days if I have my dates correct

You do NOT need to do ANYTHING, as your current stamp goes to Thursday, 12 November 2026, as you had made Entry into Thailand on Monday, 14 September 2026, if you want to stay up to Friday, 16 October 2026

Looks like 4 September not 14. In which case it’s 60 days.

59 days from 14th September is 12th November (entry day is day one so you got 59 extra days) The date is correct but the stamp isn’t clear.
Moot point if you’re leaving tomorrow.

Obviously a mistake with the stamp date, assuming you entered visa exempt. You really should get it corrected, yesterday visa exempt should have been 60 days, today 30 days
