TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is inquiring about the Non-O visa application process as they are married to a Thai national. They want to confirm if it is correct that they can apply for the Non-O visa in Thailand and if they only need to maintain 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account two months prior to their one-year extension, rather than at the time of applying for the Non-O visa.

You do in your country before coming and can extend when here.

All of this is generally correct. But you'll need to check with your local immigration office when you arrive as they may have different rules.

so you need to go there when you arrive and ask them for the handout for converting to non-O based on married to Thai and also for the handout for the 1 year extension.
