Posted earlier today by ACS Bangkok to their Twitter acct: "The U.S. Embassy will no longer provide extension letters. U.S. citizens have until July 31 to either return to the U.S., other permanent residence, or obtain appropriate long-term visa. Refer specific visa questions to Thai immigration."
Answer summary
The U.S. Embassy in Thailand has announced that it will no longer provide extension letters for U.S. citizens. Those affected have until July 31 to return to the U.S. or obtain an appropriate long-term visa. Visa inquiries should be directed to Thai immigration.

This only applies to US Citizens, and it should be self-explaining
