TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew a Type O visa based on marriage to a Thai national, the required 400,000 Baht must be in a bank account for at least 2 months prior to the application date. You can apply for the renewal up to 30 days before your current visa expires, ensuring the funds are seasoned in your name only.
the 400K baht banked money method for a year extension based on marriage to a thai national needs to be seasoned 2 months BEFORE you apply <- not before your current stamp runs out. SO it all depends on when you apply.
At most offices you can apply 30 days before your stamp runs out so you could apply any time after Dec 31st.
Make sure what ever day you're going to apply for your next year extension that the money is seasoned in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before that
