Can I Return to Thailand on a Non-B Visa if My Visa Expires Before Flights Resume?

Hi everyone. I was unfortunately an idiot and decided to go on holiday right before all the COVID19 drama started. I have a non-B and work permit but my visa is only valid until 21 May. I have just seen that Thailand will not have any inbound flights allowed until at least 31 May. I am certain that means I am royally screwed and can no longer return to Thailand. I'm posting this in the very vain hope that someone can tell me I am wrong?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The situation regarding travel to Thailand is uncertain due to COVID-19, with the country closed for incoming passengers until at least 31 May 2020. The user's non-B visa is valid only until 21 May, raising concerns about their ability to return before the visa expires.

Sorry but Thailand remains CLOSED to all foreigners by land, sea or air.

Watch for updates in last week of May in news and this forum.

Take care...stay safe.

Thailand is and will be closed for incoming passengers until 31 May 2020, what happens after that will be announced some where in May

Nope, you can not extend your stay inside Thailand from outside Thailand,

Just start all over again when the borders open up.

@Robert ******
so due to me already being out of Thailand my visa will expire. I know its ridiculous to even ask but is there no way for me to extend from out the country? My brain tells me no but I am really trying to hang on to any hope until I have exhausted every possibility ๐Ÿ˜ž
