Sorry if this is a dumb question.

If I enter Thailand on a non-imm-O visa, say on December 1st 2009, I receive an extension of stay based on retirement, say on February 1st 2010, then until when will my visa last?  December 1st 2010 or  February 1st 2011?

12 months from when your current extension of stay ends.
Probably around 1st March. 2011

As said neither of those dates.  Your extension of stay will end 12 months from your current permitted to stay date you have when you make the application.  So about March 1

It is not a visa.

Thanks for your quick answer!

That was more than what I expected - great news!

But you must understand also that there is a requirement to notify the immigration (telephone call is okay) every 90 days to verify  your address....they will be unhappy if you don't.
Where you make the notification depends on where you live in Thailand. You notify your local office

No. You cannot do it by telephone.
In person, by post or someone  can do it on your behalf.
If you fail to do this the fine is 2,000 Baht.

Apparently you are planning to get a one (1) year extension of stay based on retirement. Do you have your financials in order? 800k in a Thai bank for 60 days at the time of extension application or 65k per month pension letter from your embassy, or a combination of bank deposit and monthly pension equal to 800k per year.

OR a combination of both.
