You shouldn't have a problem applying at that office as long as you meet the financial requirements and have the needed days left on your current stamp. I think they require 15 days or more left on your stamp to apply for an in country Non-O visa at the Surat Thani Immigration office.

I'd take your thai wife and slog on over there, talk to them, get the hand out listing the requirements to make sure you have the time and the documentation and then go back and apply for the 90 day Non-O for 2000baht. It will go under review for 14 days and then you'd go back to get the Non-O and a 90 day extension inked in

IF they are willing to sell you the in-country Non-O visa based on marriage (not all immigration offices sell in-country visas), and you meet the qualifications, including the time remaining on your current "admitted to" stamp, you should be able to get the visa and the resulting extension of stay.

Surat Thani has a website at
