TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can apply for a year's extension of stay and obtain a multi-entry re-entry permit once you are in Thailand, provided you meet the necessary conditions such as being married or retired.

 your only option on that visa is to meet the proof of funds 400K baht i a thai bank account for 2 months, then apply for the year extension based on marriage to a thai for 1900baht, then after you get that you could buy a re-entry permit

OR

you could get a 60 day visit thai family extension once.

 I thought that I did not have to put the 400k into a thai bank to get a multi entry? I've had a change of plans and will only be staying there for 28 days at a time, so I think better to stay on tourist visa.

 you can get a multi entry non-o visa based on marriage in Savannakhet, Laos. This used to not require money in a Thai bank but changed a few months ago to require 400k in a Thai bank. I think that was about the last place you could get one without banked money

, you mean Multiple Entry Non-O based on marriage to a Thai that you apply at the Thai embassy, not inside Thailand. And unfortunately, it is not available on eVisa system anymore since the system update last October.

 but after a few 28 day stays, they're going to question and eventually deny you entry. Unless you're planning on only coming for 28days and then leaving for a while between visits

 ... I was doing that working O&G a number of years ago and they pulled me up, questioned me and told me to get the correct visa. I then did a few years on the muliple entry visa until covid and now on the 1 year extensions getting re-entry permits when required.

 be prepared for questions from Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival into Thailand EACH time you try to enter Visa Exempt Entry.

Your plan is not workable. Get the correct visa for your many planned trips each year in Thailand.

You can buy a multi-entry re-entry permit with your Non-O, but it will only be valid for the duration of your initial entry (90 days).
