If you meet the qualifications, you should be able to get a one year extension of stay based on employment

each immigration office has their own requirements. You'd have to go down to the local office and ask them for the handout

Basically, you want another stamp to let you stay until October yy, when your visa expires?

There's no way to do that, sadly. Your only options is to either leave by September 26,

OR get a one year extension of stay (may be effective September 27),

OR *POTENTIALLY* (in theory) a letter from your embassy saying you can't leave Thailand (which may not be possible, depending what your nationality is OR if your immigration office accepts the letter).

Those are your only options, sadly.
