TLDR : Answer Summary
You can typically apply for your Non-O retirement extension when you have 30 days or less left before expiration at most immigration offices. However, in some locations like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket, this period extends to 45 days. Hua Hin prefers applicants to come in 1 week prior to expiration, while Korat also allows 45 days. It's important to check local practices, as each immigration office may have different preferences.

as I said before: Something between you and the Immigration official must have gotten lost in translation. You meant 1-year EOS, they meant touristic extension
that's pretty narrow a window. What happens if they demand more documents, like a 12-months bank statement, for which some banks need 12 days to produce. It would blow up the timing
maybe you went in there and asked "I'd like to apply for an extension" and they thought you were referring to the touristic extension, and correctly replied "one week before" 😃😄
I don't believe a word. Something between you and the Immigration official must have gotten lost in translation. Touristic extensions for 30 days in Hua Hin can only be applied for one week before expiry of the admitted stay permit. However applications for the "1-year extension of the stay permit based on retirement" can be made in Hua Hin up from 30 (!!) days before the expiry of the stay permit
