I am reposting this as my first post probably wasn't very clear and didn't have all the relevant info but I didn't want to delete it, so here goes.
I entered Thailand from China on 18 July on a 30 day exempt and got a 30 day extension the following day, allowing me to stay until September 19, thereabouts. However I left Thailand on 3 September to return to my job in China and flew to HK to do my quarantine, but due to the current COVID restrictions in China I could not re-enter China, I therefore flew back to Thailand today (7 September) and entered on another Visa exempt.
1) can I get another extension?
2) my old work have offered me my job back and I have a Thai wife, what are my options to get a visa so I can get my work permit? Can I get a letter offering me employment then get a visa from Chang Wattana for 3 months in order to process my WP?
TLDR : Answer Summary

Responses confirm the possibility of extending the visa and detail the options for work permits through a Non-B visa sponsored by an employer or a Non-O visa based on marriage.
