Dear sir, I came to the Thailand on March 11 on a tourist visa from INDIA. I had a return ticket on March 26 but could not go because the lockdown started. My visa was valid from March 11 to May 9, 2020. Thai immigration said all tourist visas would be open until July 31 without any conditions. What should I do now? Do I need to go immigrations office now? And what should I do? If 31july not opened international commercial flight then what can i do? please any suggestion. Thank you so much.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user arrived in Thailand on a tourist visa which has since expired due to the lockdown. They are uncertain about what actions to take next, especially since Thai immigration announced that all tourist visas would remain valid until July 31 without conditions. Community responses suggest waiting for government updates on international flights, contacting the Indian embassy for repatriation flights, and preparing a plan to return home. Additionally, some responses mention the uncertainty surrounding future visa statuses and highlight the importance of finding a flight as soon as possible.
This canon system you are referring to, was originally made for citizen of Asian countries including India because of the low cost, now in a recent survey they have made a note of a high percentage of people from Europe and UK whose funds are running low , so now the canon service is only available to people from Europe and UK.
So your visa has expired and you are on the amnesty until July 31. No-one knows yet what will happen on that date. All you can do now is just wait until an announcement is made. My advice is to start looking for ways to return to your home country so you have a plan B in place
