How do I calculate the day count for renewing my Non Imm O retirement visa extension in Thailand?

Can you clarify for me how CW Immigration does the day count determining the date one should attend to get new 12 month extension. I have Non Imm O for Retirement for past 3 years. My understanding is that I need to attend 45 days prior to the expiry date of current Extention. This is 14 November. So my count would be 31 days in October and 14 days for November makes 45 days. Therefore I attend on 1 October which I had done in the past including last year. However the IO last year said it was only 44 days (but she did the Extention). So do I go on 30 September instead of 1 October? Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew your Non Imm O retirement visa in Thailand, you should attend the immigration office 45 days before your current extension expires. If your extension expires on November 14, you would count 31 days in October and the first 14 days of November, bringing your total to 45 days. Therefore, you could attend on October 1. However, last year you were told by an immigration officer that it was only 44 days, which raises the question of whether you should attend on September 30 instead.

@Richard *******
there is NO "day to attend" you can go ANYTIME you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp

so you can go any time from the 45th day before your stamp expires right down to the very day your stamp expires..
