My wife and I are out of the Thailand.  I left with a retirment extension on a non-imm type O.  It will expre by the time we return.  I've got the required minimum depost already.  How should I apply for a marrirage visa ?  Should I just do it when we return, or get another O or OA visa before returning?  Thanks for your help and advice.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on how to apply for a marriage visa in Thailand after their retirement extension (non-O) expires while they are currently outside the country. It is suggested that the marriage visa should be applied for from outside Thailand, as one can only apply for a non-O spouse visa while outside the country. Alternatively, they could return on a 60-day tourist visa and then apply for the marriage visa.

Do it outside unless you come back in on a 60 day tourist visa. Which you’d have to apply for at a consulate or embassy.

You can indeed get a non-immigrant O visa inside Thailand.

Not every immigration office can do it though

You got an extension based on a thai spouse, not a spouse visa. That you can do. Theres a difference.

I have to disagree on this. I came in on a tourist visa, and changed to a Non O spouse visa in Mae Sai. I was advised to do it this way, and it worked out fine.
