Which office is giving 60 days?

[JacksSmirkingRevenge 220]

I am a tourist, so I don't mind traveling about.  I just want to get a 60 day extension.  And I know Chiang Mai is only doing 30, so that's not a great option.  Samui is doing 60, but expensive to fly there.  However, Bangkok is also doing 60 and easy to get to MTT.  So which others are?  I'd love to go to Pai or a place where the immigration office is close to the tourist area, like Patong immigration in Phuket.

Samui is expensive to fly but phuket is an option ?? I don't know how mobile you are but driving is an option if flying is to expensive . And i don't know about now i havn't looked yet but about 6 weeks ago i flew to samui and the tickets where about half price of what they cost normaly because they want some(thai) people to go there for weekends or short holidays .

Bangkok Immigration just told me I could apply for an extension in Bangkok if Chiang Mai Immigration denies extension

[ELMqgp 27]

and it says that extensions can be granted to visitors at any of the country's immigration offices.

Can you give more information.  Has Chiang Mau already refused you? Did you phone Bangkok immigration?

[ELMqgp 27]

The Bangkok Immigration Department also said that the Chiang Mai Immigration Department can accept copy of the old consulate letter in order to extend the tourist visa.

I just went to the Chiang Mai immigration office at the airport and they simply refused to extend the deadline and said it was Chiang Mai immigration policy.

I also heard from the agent that the old consulate letter was acceptable to IO.

[ELMqgp 27]

However, if you take the old consulate letter copy , the immigration people will definitely refuse to extend, because you didn't use an agent.

[ELMqgp 27]

In fact Chiang Mai Immigration is very lucky to be able to give you a 30 day extension, usually giving you a 0 day extension.

Updated today.

Don't try do it at non tourist province.

The best way is go bkk.

I'm on VE, extended to 30th Nov.. currently in CM, 

Looks like I will have to go back to BKK for the 60 days. Was really hoping to read something positive about them being issued elsewhere before I have to renew.

careful with the Bangkok office as well, they have turned people away this week telling them to come back in the last few days prior to the 30/11 stamp expiring, so I imagine next week & the week after is going to be packed.
