Its a law concerning ALL foreigners.

You probably mean the temporary measure of 45 days visa exemption that expired on April 1 last year. then it went back to 30 days.

Sure. You arrived 9 november as you mentioned.

Any local extension of your METV will be 30 days only.

METV gives you 60 days at each entry within the validity of your visa. Take a 30 days extension or leave the country, make a easy border bounce and return possible the same day.

Common advise for a border bounce. Take a visa agent. They are familiar with the border situation and make sure the bounce will run smooth.

In my case a Non O retieement extension. I go to my country and get a new passport. Reenter with 2 passports. Do i need to go to the immigration who issued my extension straight away? I did plan to stay in Bangkok a few weeks before comming back to Chiang Mai. I got my extension in Chiang Mai.

Go as soon as posible. No need to wait. Get it done.

Next time make a apointment online. For my yearly extension last week i arrived 11.20 for my 11.30 apointment and got my extension 11.55. No queue, you book a time.

Like a injection once a month? I guess thats not a reason to get any kind of visa.

There is no easy way to stay 6 months as a tourist without leaving just once.

Best is a 6 months multiple entry tourist visa. Gives you 60 days each entry which can be extended by 30 days each time. So you have to leave and come back at least once.
