TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat in Thailand is seeking advice on options for extending their visa after their 60-day SEV and its 60-day extension based on marriage to a Thai national. They express concerns about flights being canceled and uncertain work due to the cruise industry shutdown.

>to a Thai National at Korat Immigration it runs out 4th April
April 4th is a very long time away.
>does anyone know the best way to get another extension or visa run
You'd have to leave Thailand and either border bounce or purchase a new visa. You *MAY* be able to get a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai wife.
>and my flight home to the UK has been cancelled by Turkish Airways
They did give you a refund, right? If they did, then book another flight out, there are still flights going on between Thailand and the UK.
