has thai immigration extended the free 60 day tourist visa policy? i read something about this but the consulate's website still has the original information of the free visas till march 2010. thanx

They have but no one seems to have told the Consulates about this.

Hello!

I have a 60 day tourist visa and I want to get the 30 day extension in a few days. Can I just go to an immigration office anywhere in Thailand or do I have to cross the border. I am currently in Khao Yai and am thinking about going to the BKK Immigration Office but am concerned with the red shirt demonstrations going on. Is there another office I can go to? If you could give me any tips that would be great. Thanks!

The Bangkok office is out near the old airport and nowhere close to the demonstration main area downtown. You must go to an Immigration office - you can not obtain 30 days by crossing a border.

Do not cross the border, just go to an immgration office and take 1,900 baht, a pass photo and a copy of your passport and departur card with you.
