Thailand: Extending your stay

Normally, if you want to continue touring the country, an extension may be granted for not more than 30 days unless there are explanatory circumstances that would entitle you to a one year extension. There will be fee of 1,900 baht (approx. US$58) to extend your stay in Thailand.

The Immigration can extend your Tourist visa once again if you still need another extension. It will be extended for 7 days following the initial 30 days with another fee 1,900 baht.

If you are planning to stay longer in Thailand for study abroad or exchange student program, the country will require you to be enrolled as a full time student in one of Thailand's schools. The visa you are going to use to enter the country will not be a tourist visa. Once you are accepted by the school, it will arrange your visa with Thailand immigration office and issue a student visa for you.

Here is a bit more info for you.
