Hi, can anyone advise how to transfer my retirement visa from my old passport to new passport, is there a deadline or can I use the new and old passports to travel into Thailand and wait till my visa expires in August next year to renew. Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

To transfer your retirement visa from your old passport to your new passport, visit the immigration office where you received your extension. It's advisable to do this before leaving Thailand. The process typically involves filling out a simple form and may cost around 500 baht. You can use both your old and new passports for travel until your visa expires, which is set for renewal next August.

You need to go to the immigration office that you got your extension from to transfer the stamp. You should do it before you leave Thailand again, as the airport people will get cranky knowing you had the opportunity to do it already but did not.
