Can/should we apply for a visa extention in uk before arriving in phuket ?

New to this 30 day visa thing

And have booked for 5 weeks

Trying to avoid long waiting times in visa office

Good morning. Has anyone done the Ranong/Club Andaman border bounce in the last few days? I am reading conflicting information re this run. If this run is open, any information and advice would be greatly appreciated. I am currently in Phuket and will be driving north next week via Ranong. I am an Australian passport holder arrived 25 September on a 60 day tourist visa with a 30 day extension which expires 23 December. I do not have a return flight home yet as I was hoping to stay in Thailand until early to mid February. So was wanting to come back into Thailand on a visa exempt and then apply for a 30 day extension. I have not done a land border crossing before so this will be a first for me. Hope someone can help me with info or advice.
