TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster (OP) needs to renew their passport before applying for a visa extension, as the extension will only be valid until the passport expires. It's possible to transfer an extension of stay from one passport to another if necessary, but the OP should first contact their embassy for passport renewal options.

I'm shutting this down.

1. The OP is in England. What happens in England for passport renewal may not be valid for other countries.

2. To get a new passport, you'd have to contact your embassy. Type "[country name here] embassy of Thailand" in Google or your favorite search engine to find the local embassy.

3. The process of getting a new passport is outside the scope of this group. Contact your embassy for details.

4. A one year extension of stay is valid for one year, or the length of the passport's validity.

5. You *can* transfer extension of stays from one passport to another.

OK, I have to renew (I think) my US passport 3 years before it expires because I don't have enough pages left. I assumed it would be for another 10 years but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe another American can clarify this for me?

I'd rather lose the time on the passport and get the full extension personally. You can apply for a new passport at any point, you just lose the unused time on the old one

You would get a new extension that would run to November, 2022. I recommend getting a new passport as soon as possible.
