Thanks for any advice
TLDR : Answer Summary
After using a 60-day family extension, the user seeks advice on how to stay in Thailand following the cessation of the amnesty and revelation that the Australian embassy no longer issues support letters. Community responses suggest options including meeting the financial requirements for a yearly extension and utilizing the option available for parents of Thai children regarding bank account requirements.

I feel sorry for you, you just followed the stream of people terrified to be out of Thailand one day to another, this grace period was really obvious as all the country in the region gave one, Thailand was just the last to announce it.Tod *********
ORIGINAL POSTERnow now,
If we count up how long the amnesty was granted for (from when it started on March 26th until when the new one is proposed to end Sept 26th) we can see that is SIX MONTHS of time.
While I am sympathetic to the O/P's plight, it should not be beyond the ability of people to find a solution to their visa/extension issues in that time frame. :/

an extension based on raising half thai children requires the same 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only, the only difference is it doesn't have to be seasoned the 2 months. Those are your options.Paul ***********

ORIGINAL POSTER@Paul **********
: thanks for the response do you know the requirements and cost at all once again thanks for your information @Tod ********
: 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for your yearly extension.ALL extensions inside thailand (no matter the amount of time they're issued for are 1900baht).
Tod *********
ORIGINAL POSTERSadly your only option would be to meet the financial requirements for a yearly extension or you start getting ready to leave on or by the 26th of Sept
