Extended my tourist visa today at koh Samui for usual 30 days, was given 35 days (to 26/07) plus a red stamp saying further extension available of 32 days (tp 27/08).

Is this another new change I have completely missed? Is an extension of 67 days available or must it be done in 2 hits?

Is it possible to post your original entry stamp, the extension stamp, and that strange red stamp? I have never heard of anything remotely resembling what you are describing.

Sorry I have been confusing myself by looking at last years extension, on consecutive pages and the TM6 on the same page as the previous extension, red stamp Is actually the date.

 

But this extension is until 25 July, which is 34 days.

What was the date of your entry into Thailand? It is possible that the Admitted Until date you originally received was smudged (different from what it appeared on first glance) or outright incorrect. In that case, the 30-day extension would be from the correct Admitted Until date as recorded in immigration's system. The other main possibility is that the immigration made an error in issuing the extension of stay. In that case, I would seriously recommend getting it corrected, or leaving during the correct period of your permission to stay. Always make sure you understand immigration stamps, and get incorrect ones corrected as soon as possible (usually immediately).

Had plans made to leave after 30 days, can't see any reason to change them.

In that case you wouldn't need to do anything. I currently have an incorrect date stamp, but it's way beyond my next scheduled trip out of the country.

It could be 30 days on top of your previous permission to stay. IE Around 25th June.

35 days from when you applied for the extension or 35 days added on to your original permission to stay?

Or both!
