I want to leave a job. I gave a month and a half notice but now it has been two weeks and I just can't do one more month. What is the easiest way to get out of my WK and extension of stay?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To leave your job in Thailand and cancel your work permit and extension of stay, you should resign and obtain the necessary paperwork from your employer. Subsequently, cancel your work permit and take the receipt to cancel your extension of stay. Finally, you can leave the country and return on a different visa or a visa-exempt entry.

no it takes as much or as little time as you want it to. You could go in tomorrow sign the resignation papers, walk out go right to the ministry of labor cancel your work permit and then right to the immigration office to cancel your extension.
