Last year in Bangkok I needed to show a lease of at least 3 months, go ask your immigration office what they want

That depends on your immigration office. Some require a lease, some do not. Some want to see 12 months, some want to see 6 months. You'll have to ask your specific office what their requirements are for the extension.
