30 day extension not available.

Only extension available is 12 month.

If you were married to a Thai you could obtain 60 day extension to visit wife.

 

Bite the bullet and do a border run reenter visa exempt 

30 day stamp.

Where are you located.

Isn't the cost for an extension the same no matter the length of it?  So why not just pay for the year anyway?

He would need to have kept the 800k in bank for 2 months prior etc.

But yes an option. 

If he had the funds in place he could do as you suggest and buy a reentry permit.

Make next visit early.

Guess he could even use an agent. 

 

Yes all extensions are 1900b

Provided that you can meet the requirements for a 1-year extension of your Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement (which includes providing evidence of having kept the required  funds on a Thai personal bank-account) applying for such 1-year extension would be an easier and even cheaper option (as an extension only costs 1.900,- THB), than making a border-run.

When doing so dr Jacks suggestion to buy a One Time Re-Entry Permit when applying for the 1-year extension (costs 1.000,- THB) would allow you to easily re-enter Thailand during the 12 months that the extension would provide you.

OP, you may have an aversion to use of agents but the more I think about your options, eg border bounce etc....

I think an extension using agent is good option. 

 

I notice you are located Pattaya.

Plenty of good agents (Maneerat being one example) 

 

You already have the non O so an extension and single reentry permit would set you back ~15k .

 

The bonus is ease of next entry and stay for next visit.
