TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can move to a different province in Thailand on a 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa. If you obtained the visa from a Thai embassy before traveling, you can relocate freely. However, if you converted to the Non-O visa at an immigration office in Thailand, you can only receive your 1-year extension of stay from the office where you initially obtained the visa.

Of course you can. The visa is for The Kingdom of Thailand, not solely for Phuket.

Did you get the non-O from a Thai embassy before you traveled to Thailand, or did you convert to the non-O visa at an immigration office in Thailand?

If you got the non-O from an embassy you can move wherever you like.

If you got the non-O from Thai immigration, then no other immigration office will issue you a 1-year extension of stay except the office that you obtained the original visa from. Once you have the extension you can move wherever you like.

Your original 90 days was not an extension, that was the Non-O which allowed you to get your 12 month. Look at your 12 month stamp, it says "12 month Extension of Stay" not "12 month Visa". extension

We are. 90 days is the visa, the 1-year is the extension. You cannot switch between the 90 days and the 1-year extension. Sounds like you probably used an agent so it doesn't matter regardless.

Your "original" one year from Pattaya was not a Visa, that was your first extension

a visa is not for a province it's for a country. You're fine to go wherever you want if your visa is from the embassy.
