May be a shot in the dark but does anyone have the info needed from Samut Prakan Immigration office to convert an exemption stamp to a non-o spousal 90 day visa?  I understand all Immigration offices are different.  So I would like the one specific to Samut Prakan.

You're probably best off going to that Immigration office and ask them direct what they need from you. Like you said all imo are different

you need a bank statement letter showing at least bt400,000 in a Thai bank account in your name only, copies of your marriage license and registration documents, copies of your wife's ID card, and the house book she's listed in, and copies of your passport, a passport photo, and the application form. They will give you the full list of required documents for your one year extension.

when done inside Thailand it is called an extension as you can not get a visa inside Thailand. Also you need to buy either a single entry, or a multi-entry re-entry permit to be able to leave the country, and come back on the same extension type. What you did before no longer exists so get all of that out of your head. You need bt400,000+ in your bank account. There are no longer any exceptions to this.

That is rubbish. You can obtain a Non O in Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa entry.

That's why they have TM86 and TM87 forms for. To obtain Non O from tourist visa (TM86) or from Visa Exempt entry (TM87)

yes, but you were using the wrong terminology, and with visa and extensions it can avoid confusion. Of course you can get the 90 day type O inside Thailand, but you need the money in the bank here to do it. Then the only way to keep it if you leave Thailand and come back is by buying a re-entry permit.
