ORIGINAL POSTER

I’m very confused by the information on here. 

The immigration site states “all types of visa’ have an amnesty til July 31st.

So what’s not covered..?

I entered the Kingdom on a 3 month APEC visa with a plan to leave mid April. My flight was ‘postponed’ due to the airport closure. The next one (early May) was never confirmed and subsequently cancelled. 

I then booked with a new carrier for first flight out on 21st May, which had just been cancelled in line with latest Thai restrictions to June 1. 

My APEC runs out May 27th.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is confused about Thailand's amnesty period affecting all visa types, specifically regarding their APEC visa expiring on May 27th and flight cancellations. A commenter clarified that APEC visa holders are covered under the amnesty, allowing them to stay until July 31st.

Seeing as you entered on an APEC card you DO qualify for the amnesty and will be allowed to stay not longer than the 31st of July.
