If you only arrived on 17th October (the same day as me, coincidentally) surely it took a few days to open your bank account and deposit the required 800,000 Baht? As this has to be in your account for 2 full months, the earliest you can apply for the 1 year extension would be around 24th December. I say this because I am in exactly the same position - unless of course you already had a Thai Bank account with the necessary funds in place? This is not clear from your original post.
