You are free to try.

A US citizen in the UK will probably be OK.

A UK citizen in the USA almost certainly will not.

Anyone trying in either India or Thailand will certainly be promptly thrown
out.

If you have a tourist visa when you arrive in Thailand, you can
certainly extend it once there. People do it all the time.

"Tourist visa.................. US $25.00 per entry for pleasure
purpose only. (require copy airline ticket or itenery) (Maximum stay
60 day, extension of stay may be applied in Thailand.)"

The only hard part is figuring out what an itenery is.

Here in Malaysia you can extend the 3-month visa-free entry by another
two months in a few minutes (not counting travel time to the immigration
office).

If you don't play by the rules then visas are a lottery.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you end up with 'no readmission' stamped on
your passport.

Just because you asked to extend your visa? I don't think so.
