Tourist extension at Chaeng Watthana last Thursday: in the door at 8:20, out before 11. 1,900 baht, one photo, copies of the passport pages. TM.6 only if they ask. This is what happened to me, not advice.

Chiang Mai or Bangkok for a 30-day extension?

Same TM.7 idea, different queues. Officers decide. Not legal advice. Checked 9 Sep 2026: the tourism add-on people describe is 30 days, cash often 1,900 THB, photo, copies, passport. The extension itself was not changed by the September rule change.

Is walking Sukhumvit after midnight OK?

Not a 400-metre 7-11 hop. I mean 1–2 km on the main road at 00:30. People still treat “central” as a personality.
