TLDR : Answer Summary
If you quit your job while holding a 1-year Non-B Employment Visa and do not notify anyone, your visa technically remains valid until its expiration date. However, you may face complications regarding your Extension of Stay, which needs to be cancelled on your last working day. Not doing so may result in fines when applying for any new Extension of Stay in the future, specifically a 500 THB overstay fine per day, up to 20,000 THB. It is advisable to check the conditions of your visa and extension to avoid issues.
The difference and why terminology is so important:
Extension of Stay, the big stamp from Immigration office,
This has to be cancelled on your last day of working as you signed to do when you applied for this Extension of Stay.
You then have just a few options, or apply for a new Extension of Stay based on any reason you can meet the requirements,
If you can not meet any requirements, you have to leave the country.
If you do not cancel this Extension of Stay, you might get fined when you apply for a new Extension of Stay in later days, with a 500 Thb overstay fine from your last day of working until the day you applied again, with a maximum of 20.000 Thb.
Most Immigration offices send you back to the office where the not cancelled Extension is stamped in your passport to cancel it first, before continue your application process,
