TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster is inquiring whether they can apply for a COVID extension at the immigration office in Koh Tao. Responses indicate that applying is possible and that the staff are friendly. However, there's conflicting information about whether Koh Tao has a functioning immigration office, with some suggesting that applicants might need to go to Koh Samui instead. A few commenters recommend checking local resources or calling the office for confirmation.

It's best to call the office first or just go to Bangkok where it is more consistent.

I stayed in Koh Tao for a week a few months ago. Everyone I came across had to take a boat to Koh Samui, where they said the nearest office is. At the time, there was no open office in Koh Tao.

I think what

is saying is that asking at the IO will get (on average) a more reliable answer than FB
