honestly if you're on a visa exemption (the 30 day stamp you get at the airport) you can only extend once for another 30 days at chang wattana like the other person said. but if you're on a proper tourist visa (60 day one) you can extend for another 30 days too, same process just different form. also heads up they're strict about the dress code now no shorts or sandals, saw a guy get turned away last week for wearing flip flops. if you're near siam there's a smaller immigration office at the mall but it only does certain stuff, stick with chang wattana for extensions
If you're on a visa exemption or tourist visa and need more than that single extension, you could look into a border run. Take a bus to a nearby border like Mae Sot or Aranyaprathet, cross into Myanmar or Cambodia, then come back same day for a new 30 day stamp. The minivans leave from Mo Chit or Khao San around 6am and cost about 1500 baht including the agent handling the paperwork. Just know immigration has been tightening up on back to back land border entries, so you might get questioned if you do it too often.
the online appointment system at chang wattana is worth looking into if you hate waiting around. you book a specific time slot on their website and skip the main line, saves you a solid 3 hours of standing around. only problem is the slots fill up fast, like a week or two in advance sometimes, so plan ahead. also bring a pen, they make you fill out forms by hand and the loaner ones there are always missing
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
