Hi, I have 2 questions for the moderators… first is, I’m from the uk and arrived in Phuket and got the visa exempt for 45 days.. I would like to extend and am now in bkk, where do I go for this extension?

And I will be flying out to Australia for a week and then heading back to Thailand, I do have a few stamps this year… is it better advised to go back in to Phuket rather than Bangkok as heard bkk is being a lot stricter with amount of Stamps in passport… and would I be better off to apply for tourist visa whilst in Sydney? Or voa when I land? Thanks 🙏🏼
