How can I extend my stay in Thailand for 56 days after the initial 60-day visa?

Bob *********

You can come and go by air as you please as long as you don't appear to be living long term in thailand. So you can do visa exception, leave when you need to, stay 10 to 30 days in another country and Thailand will welcome you back. (Try to spend less than six months in the year in Thailand.
