TLDR : Answer Summary
A person cannot apply for a retirement visa in Thailand until they are 50 years old. They can apply for a Non-O visa before they turn 50 but may face the risk of denial depending on the immigration office's discretion. It's important to apply for the Non-O visa in advance, as one comment indicates they were successfully issued a Non-O visa shortly before turning 50.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

I got my 90 day single entry Non-O visa from the Vientiane thai consulate a couple months before of turning 50.
BUT
I did have someone try to get a Non-O visa in country at the immigration office in Bangkok before they were 50. They were denied and told to come back once they turned 50 :/
