What are the implications of temporary unemployment on visa extension in Thailand?

The discussion revolves around the impact of temporary unemployment on the extension of stay in Thailand, particularly regarding visa extensions based on employment and social security contributions. It highlights that if a foreign employee is unemployed and claiming social security benefits, the employer's contributions should cease. This could affect the eligibility for visa extension based on employment status, as immigration rules have not changed, and payment of social security is often required for the extension process.
