TLDR : Answer Summary
In cases of political turmoil and violence in your home country, it is possible to apply for a visa extension in Thailand. You will need to contact your embassy in Thailand, which is required to issue a letter requesting the extension. If the immigration office in Thailand accepts the letter from your embassy, they will grant you an extension.

You need to talk to your own embassy in Thailand. For immigration side, there is an extension based on embassy request. For this, your embassy has to issue a letter to ask the immgration bureau to grant an extension to you. And if immigration office accept that letter, they will give you an extension.
