So

you bought a tourist visa from a thai consulate in another country BEFORE you came here and when you arrived you were stamped in for 60 days RIGHT?

you shouldn't have a problem getting the 30 day embassy request extension.

Remember though it's a TWO step process, you apply for the extension pay the 1900baht turn in your application and you will get an "under consideration" stamp in your passport telling you when you come back and get the rest of the extension (up to Oct 26th).

I tried three times to get a letter. I received this today.

The Government of Canada continues to advise Canadians abroad to return to Canada. The Embassy of Canada doesn’t issue visa extension letters for tourists to remain in Thailand as there are many commercial flights available to return to Canada.

As you mention a cancelled flight from Manila, please note that you may be eligible for the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 emergency loan. Further information regarding this program can be found here:
