TLDR : Answer Summary

You can work and study simultaneously while on a marriage visa extension in Thailand, as there are no restrictions against doing both. Additionally, studying is permitted if you hold a visa based on employment. However, bear in mind that if you switch to a student visa (Non-ED), you cannot work.

No problem at all to work and study when you are on an extension based on marriage to a Thai national.

You also can study when you are on visa/extension based on employment.

What you can NOT do is that you work when you are on visa/extension based on studying (Non-ED).
