TLDR : Answer Summary

If your retirement visa extension expires on March 21 and you arrive on March 27, you will not be able to use that extension. You may enter Thailand under Visa Exempt Entry, which typically allows for a 30-day stay, depending on your nationality. If you plan to stay for two months, you might need to consider adjusting your arrival plans or looking into other visa options.

If your Extension of Stay ends on 21st March but you arrive on the 27th of March, depending on your passport you could get the Visa Exempt Entry.

OK, if you have a re-entry permit you will be stamped in the country till 31 March. If arrival is 27th you have 4 days to prepare the new application of Extension of Stay.
