Can I apply for the COVID extension now that I've received a 1-month extension in Thailand?

The user inquires about their eligibility for a COVID extension after recently obtaining a one-month extension on their visa in Thailand. They received the extension on December 17, which lasts until January 31, and are uncertain if they can still apply for the COVID extension or if they should wait until their current extension expires. One commenter advises that it is possible to apply for the COVID extension before January 25, emphasizing that the user should be prepared to explain their reasons for still being in Thailand, given the stricter regulations on such extensions.
