Good afternoon πŸ™

Could someone please give me some info on a few points

I went for an extension last month at CW immigration and it expires on the 21st of April .

Since borders are closed, do i go back to immigration ?

Secondly, i came to Chantaburi province to stay at q friends house but then i could not travel back to bangkok, so do i make a plan to go back or could i try my luck at Chantaburi immigration as i have residential proof of where i am staying

This would be much help , thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking guidance on their visa extension at CW immigration, which is set to expire on April 21. They are unsure whether to return to immigration given border closures. The user is also concerned about their current residency in Chantaburi and whether they need to return to Bangkok or can seek assistance at Chantaburi immigration, especially regarding the TM30 reporting requirement.

You should be okay to stay and read your permitted up to date as 30 April 2020. Before that date new announcement should be made for the period after 30 April.

Did you or the owner of where you are staying in Chanthaburi lodge TM30 reporting your stay in Chanthaburi within 24 hours of arriving, as required by law?

First you face a fine for failing to do so, but also some provinces are locking down and no foreigners (who haven't registered as living in the province) are required to leave - no exception.
