TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for the one-year extension based on marriage on the day your current stamp expires. There is no minimum number of days left required, but it is advisable to apply several days earlier to prepare for any additional documentation.

The last day you can apply for an extension is the day of your current stamp's expiration. You don't have to have specific (or minimum) days left.

This group would recommend you to go to apply several days earlier in case any additional documents required or get a hand out for the exact requirement in advance.

Depends on the office that you use. They told me in Pattaya that the minimum was 15 days and the max 45.
