I think I know the answers to my two questions but I would like to ask them anyway to get confirmation.
1 If I enter Thailand with a non O based on visiting Thai family, do I need to inform immigration if I leave the country within the 90 days?
2 Would there be any problem applying for another non O, at a later date, for example 6 months later, either in my home country or in Thailand, for the same reason, and with the intention of applying for an extension of stay based on marriage?
TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user asks if it's necessary to notify immigration when leaving Thailand within the 90 days while on a Non-O visa for family visits, and whether there would be any issues applying for another Non-O visa for the same reason later, with plans to extend based on marriage. Responses indicate that while theoretically a TM30 should be filed, practically no action is needed if leaving on time. Applying for another Non-O visa later, either from their home country or in Thailand, poses no problems.

1 - in theory you should have a TM30 filed BUT in practicality if you are not going to the immigration office for anything while you're here on the 90 day stamp you don't need to do anything but leave on or before the 90 days is up
2 - nope, no problem. Either apply for a new Non-O at the thai consulate where you are from before you come back OR come in on a free stamp, get the documentation needed, the funds banked, and apply for the in country Non-O at your immigration office
