Okay, if you're on an extension of stay based on retirement you COULD apply for a 60 day visit thai family extension when your current extension based on retirement is running out. THEN when that 60 days is up you could indeed apply for a new yearly extension based on retirement by meeting the requirements.
Think of the 60 day visit thai family extension as a way to 'buy time'.
