Yes. That is possible.

@An *****

If Immigration put a stamp in your passport for "visa exempt" for 30 days then you can extend at an Immigration office for a further 30 days at a cost of 1,900 baht. After that you may or may not be able to get a Corvid extension depending on your circumstances and the Immigration office.

No. VOA is for 14 days and cannot be extended.

OK Tod, I bow to you experience and knowledge.

You cannot get a retirement visa in Thailand. Only from overseas. You can however, get a extension of stay based on being over 50 years of age.

Airport?

Not true. IDP is not required under International conventions if the national licenceis in English.

@John *********

I used my Australian National licence at Chiang Mai without having an IDP. The transport authority had no problem with that and I was never asked if I had an IDP. At the same time I understand that many foreigners feel more comfortable if they have the IDP and that some Thai's (especially some police) mistakenly believe that an IDP is required to drive in Thailand.

@John ******

There is no "international licence". There are only National Licences. Perhaps you had an International Driving Permit which is of no value by itself and is simply an English translation of a National licence.
