What is the process for getting a 30-day visa extension in Phuket, Thailand?

There's certainly no sign of low season in Patong that I saw. Hotel prices have levelled off a bit but way above last September. Russian males of military age are unlikely to want to join the patriotic cause...

I am currently in Phuket on a 60 day Tourist Visa. I see a fair queue of people outside Patong immigration office. If I want a 30 day extension, are there better times to attend than others? Any tips welcome.

What should I do if Qatar Airways cancels my flight and offers an inadequate refund?

@Lisa *******************

The €600 max only applies to foreign based airlines for flights from the EU, not for flights to the EU, is my understanding. Of course I could be wrong. I have been compensated for a BA flight to the UK and a Thai Airways flight from the UK.
