You do not have to do an extension.

It is just suggested because it is an easy and low cost way of getting another 30 days of stay.

i went to immigration and they told me 1900b for 7 days, i nearly fell over

It should of been 30 days but those from certain countries cannot get a 30 day extension.

What kind of entry are you on now?

30 days you got at the airport or a tourist visa from a Thai consulate?

Only a tourist visa can be extended by 30 days.

He said he wants to go to Laos to get a 60 day visa.

If Immigrations wanted Baht 1900 for 7 days, isn't it more likely he's here now on a visa exempt entry or something else that's not extendable?

Agree !

It is more than likely the OP has something which is non extendable !

I often wonder why people do not research options before setting out into the world.

As a younger man I traveled extensively and never had any problems. Maybe was lucky but I believe my "luck" was based on an understanding of the many and varied "visa" requirements of different countries.
