TLDR : Answer Summary
A user recently extended their tourist exemption for an additional 30 days and is preparing to marry their Thai girlfriend. They seek clarification on the possibility of applying for a 90-day Non-O visa, as the current stamp in their passport appears strict. Community responses indicate that, contrary to some previous beliefs, it is indeed possible to apply for a Non-O visa within Thailand, especially since immigration rules have become more accommodating post-COVID.

If you want a non o based on marriage I believe you must apply initially in your home country. Then you can extend it here as long as you have the funds etc.
No, you can apply for Non-Os in Thailand and transition from a tourist visa or visa exempt. Only Non-Bs cannot be obtained in country (and they sometimes can).
