Can you apply for a marriage visa from outside Thailand, and how do you obtain the necessary bank statement without being present?

Hello dear people, if for example I get a marriage visa in my home country and marry my girlfriend in Thailand, can I then come to work in the UK for 6 months and stay in Thailand for 6 months?? Thanks in advance

Maybe a bit strange remark in these 'bank times' but when people came to Thailand already for a couple of years, came 'as a tourist' and managed to open a Thai bank account and already put k฿ in that account 'in the past', (E.g. because they want to retire later), I thought I read that you also MAY use THAT Thai account as proof for the financial requirement for a non imm O in your home country ? Thanks !

That's for INSIDE of Thailand from immigration, not to purchase a visa from a Thai embassy. This person clearly says "outside the country" so they are applying at am embassy. Why would an embassy, not in Thailand, that sells visas to people that have never been to Thailand, require a Thai bank account? Obviously they don't.
