I was out there this week, and it took 1h45min.
Regardless of which one it is both the 30 and 7 day extensions are the same price being 1900 roughly equivalent to 4days overstay far as cost. getting to and from office + photos, copies ext prob =1 more day 500 baht. So the difference in cost overstay vs visa ext is about 1500 baht.
1500 baht vs 2 hours of tilt time. if you were staying for 30 days its worth it because it buys you time far as not having to leave the country. Dont worry about the overstay thing ive also paid a sick amount in overstay/on multiple occasions...just leave your passport at home till you go to the airport.
Note:
Next time i need to do an extension ill just take a 2 day/1 night trip to pattaya instead as i did my last one when we had the meet up/was in and out in 5 minutes, and its about 2 hours or so to get there basically the same amount of time spent in bkk yet comes with 4handed massages+soapy bubblys
