Tried it with my wife, didn't get it, so did a border bounce for 45 days. (+30 extension possible)

See if you can get a re-entry permit at immigration. I have friends who do that but cannot be sure it is a non-o (I think it is).

Whenever you get an extension based on a person, you usually need that person to be with you.

@Thailand *******

it's general information, you need to ask your local immigration office what their requirements are since each makes their own guidelines. The information there is just what many require but they might ask for more.

Iam pretty sure they will give me a 60 day extension, it is just that my wife would need to be in nongkhai around the time my original 90 days expires,. Do you know how many days prior to the expiry date , l can apply for the 60 days ?

There is no 60 day extension on a type O visa based on Thai wife on the 90 day visa. There is only a one year extension.
