Can I extend my Non-Immi O visa based on marriage at the Korat immigration office instead of doing a border bounce?

Greetings group gurus. I have a multiple entry Non-Immi O visa (based on marriage to a Thai national) issued in Savanakhet, Laos and I'm due to do a border bounce on the 16/09 to activate my next 90 days. Instead of doing a border bounce, can I go to immigration in Korat and extend my 'admitted until' stamp for 2 months based on marriage or do I have bounce in & out as an extension would take me over the 90 day limit without reporting? Any & all information appreciated, thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about extending a multiple entry Non-Immi O visa based on marriage to a Thai national, suggesting the possibility of extending the 'admitted until' stamp by visiting the immigration office in Korat instead of performing a border bounce. A comment indicates that a 60-day family visit extension is available for 1900 baht, although it may require filling out a TM.30 form.

you can go get the 60 day visit family extension for 1900baht at your immigration office rather than border bounce if you want to.

Keep in mind that immigration office might or might not want you to have filled out a TM.30 (alien in residence) form for you to get that extension.

Cheers Tod. Korat office are hardcore when it comes to the TM30, which I've already lodged on my last entry, but, will bring another just in case. I'm flying out in October & it is more convenient (& cheaper) to do a 2 month extension for 1900 baht, than bounce in & out before I head down under in October. Thanks again for the sound advice.
