Depends if you have a Single Entry or a Multi Entry.

If Multi you can do a border run before 19th June and get another 12 months when you re enter.

If Single you apply for a 12 month extension at Immigration around 30 days before 28th August.

You need a letter from your Embassy stating your income of at least 65,000 Baht a month.

OR a letter from a Thai bank stating your balance of at least 800,000 Baht. This has to be in the bank for at least 2 months.

OR a combination of the two

Remember if you exit the country after your visa has expired (ie, during 'Year 2' permission to stay) you will need to obtain a re-entry permit from immigration before departing to preserve that permission to stay on re-entry.
