Might sound like a stupid question, does anyone know that if I have the 2 month VISA in my British passport, does that get invoked immediately my next trip to Thailand? Or can I ask for a 30 day stamp instead?

The problem is I got the 2 month VISA expecting to be there for 2 months on my next trip, unfortunately the next trip will only be for 10 days. So if the 2 month visa gets invoked then I have wasted that visa and another page in my passport!

Does anyone know if it's possible at immigration to show my ticket leaving Thailand in 10 days and ask for the 30 day visa stamp instead, so I save the 2 month visa for the next trip, which is when I can really be there for 2 months.

Thanks for any advice.

It used to be possible but going by latest reports is not now.

No harm in asking though.

I would say it would depend on when you are returning to use it, what the expiry date is and most importantly the mood of the particular immigration official you see at the time.

Ok thanks. So I guess it is possible and not out of the question.....will just have to ask, smile and hope for the best.
