TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can extend your 60-day visa by 30 days if you are married to a Thai citizen, but getting a marriage visa is recommended for longer stays. You can apply for a family-related extension. Bring your spouse along, and ensure you have all necessary paperwork to facilitate the extension. However, being married does not automatically grant visa privileges; it's essential to follow the correct procedures for extending your visa.

Yes you can get 30 days extension then another 60 Days based on Visiting your wife. As long as you have all the paperwork.

I have never heard of a Wedding Visa. Perhaps you mean a Marriage Visa or an extension of stay based on being married to a Thai national?

I stand corrected sir. Now updated. Cheers

In theory yes but some Immigration Offices will not issue the 60 day Visit Thai Family extension on a tourism entry stamp and others will only issue this if the 30 day tourism extension is taken first. The answer is the OP qualifies for a Non-O marriage visa which gives the required 90 days on entry so Immigratrion will be pushing more in this direction now.

when I went to extend my 30 days earlier this year the IO told me to come find her 2 days before extension expires and she gave me another 60 days without leaving the country because I have Thai wife and all documents
