ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
You can leave Thailand for 7 months on a marriage visa extension with a re-entry permit, as long as you return in time for the next extension application. However, you cannot convert a marriage visa to a DTV while in Thailand, as tourist visas must be obtained from Thai embassies outside the country.
