TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires if they can apply for a non-O visa from the UK, leave Thailand after 90 days, and continue this process for a year. Comments suggest that while technically possible, this strategy may not be sustainable as embassies could deny future applications. An alternative suggestion is to obtain a 1-year extension instead to save money and avoid complications.

Why wouldn't you just get the 1 yr extension and save a few thousand baht

You can do this yes, but it's not a viable strategy to live in Thailand. Eventually the embassies will stop selling you the visa.
