When is the earliest I can apply for an extension with the 30-day tourist stamp in Thailand, and can I do it online?

Maxim ***********

Usually mid-way through the 30 days you can, and you need to show up in person. The extra 30 days will start counting after the first 30 days expire. So if your original 30 days expire June 14 and you go tomorrow, you will be stamped until roughly July 13.

So how will a fixer or border company run help then? They can still deny you. No they can't. These schemes are money grabbing targeting scare foreigners. Worse case... If u get denied, then use a company... but you don't have to use it if u don't need it

You are creating fear mongering in situations where people want practical advice. And u are also exaggerating the risk based on intuition rather than reported data.
