TLDR : Answer Summary
The earliest you can apply for a retirement visa extension is when you have 45 days or less remaining on your current visa. Since your visa expires on June 2nd, you can submit your extension application starting from April 18th. Any application submitted earlier may be refused.

At Chaengwattana in Bangkok you can apply for a new extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp

So with an stamp that expires on June 2nd the soonest you could apply would be Friday April 18th
