TLDR : Answer Summary
With a NON-IMMIGRANT VISA TYPE O-X, there are no specific requirements for how long you must be present in Thailand. However, you can stay outside Thailand for up to 364 days, provided you return in time for the annual extension to keep the visa valid.

You can leave for 364 days as long as you are back to do the annual extension to keep the Visa live

An annual extention doesn't keep a visa live, they're 2 different animals

You're right, I meant to get back to get your extension of stay extended to maintain your current status live

No visa has any requirements to be in Thailand any amount of time.

So, for instance with the X-O visa, I can leave the Thailand for one year and return my visa will still be valid?

your visa is valid until the date written on the visa for a multiple entry visa.
