you could, but it'd be way better to go to your immigration office where you stay in thailand and see if you can get the 90 day Non-O visa based on being over 50 (retirement) from them.

How about stating where you are in thailand so people can tell you whether your immigration office issues the in country 90 day Non-Immigrant visas or not?

Thai Consulate in Vientiane Laos, but needs also a police record and health certificate, Penang in Malaysia. There are several options.
