TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on how to remain in Thailand after their school has cut their work permit and visa, especially given the challenges posed by COVID-19. Responses suggest applying for a temporary extension at the immigration office, despite the potential for denial, and obtaining a letter from the consulate to apply for an emergency extension.

Extend for seven days. 1.9k baht

You go to the immigration office and apply for a new extension, which will be denied, and then you get the 7 day extension denied stamp for 1900baht that gives you a week to get out of thailand

AND

during that week you get a hold of your consulate and get the "unable to travel due to covid-19" letter so you can go and apply for the emergency extension
