Interesting.
So considering the options for anyone arriving on a 90 day O-visa and wanting to extend their holiday slightly:

1 A 30 day extension is not available on a 90 day O-visa (as far as I can tell). Well, not without tea money.

2 A 60 day covid extension may be available, although this could be withdrawn before it is time to apply. Also it is supposedly for people unable to return home due to covid restrictions, although they have been granting them to people who could easily return home.

3 Doing an overland visa run is not practical at present due to border restrictions.

4 Dumping 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for a couple of months allows anyone over 50 to apply for an O-B visa ?

Am I missing any options ?
