TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, who is currently on a non-B visa and has been laid off, seeks advice on obtaining a non-O visa through their Thai son. They were informed by immigration that they need to leave the country. Comments suggest two potential solutions: applying for a 60-day visit extension as a parent of a half-Thai child, or obtaining a 30-day extension with a letter from the embassy. Additionally, it is mentioned that after receiving the 60-day extension, the user can apply for a non-O visa on the basis of supporting their half-Thai child.

You only need to embassy letter for the 30 day 'amnesty' extension
You don't need it for the 60 day family visit extension (but will need other documents which you should get a list of)- this is probably the easier and better option for now.
(y) the O/P does NOT need the embassy letter to get the 60 day visit thai family extension AND in fact showing them that letter might make the immigration officer think they want the 30 day embassy request letter.

Once you get a 60 day visit thai family extension you then could apply for a Non-O visa based on supporting a half thai child because you'd be on a hard stamp extension and have the time to apply for the in country 90 day Non-O visa.
You CAN get a 60 day visit thai family extension if you are the parent of a half thai child. GO apply for that, OR get a letter from your embassy and apply for the 30 day embassy request extension. Those are your two options right now.
