What options do I have to stay legally in Thailand until the 18th after my work permit and visa are canceled?

The user is facing a situation where their work permit and visa are set to be canceled, but they need to remain in Thailand until the 18th to wait for a visa to another country. Commenters suggest applying for a Covid extension of stay, which is permissible until July 25. However, they highlight that waiting for another country's visa may not be considered a valid reason for an extension. The proper procedure involves canceling the work permit at the Ministry of Labor and then applying for a new extension at the Immigration Office, with the risk of a 7-day notice to leave if the extension is denied.
