Sounds like you use the Jomtien immigration office down in Chonburi Province. They're famous for the "no more than a week left on your current stamp" b/s :)

What office is it that told you that?

In theory most offices let you extend a extension up to 30 days prior, but each office has its own rules and quirks. If they say they won’t extend until a week before then so be it. You’ll just have to wait for an announcement.

Currently the last date that you may apply is March 30th. However we’re waiting to hear an announcement if that deadline may be extended.
