TLDR : Answer Summary
The duration a holder of a one-year multi-entry marriage visa can stay outside Thailand at one time depends on the validity period stated on the visa. If utilizing an Extension of Stay based on marriage with a re-entry permit, this must also be used before the visa's valid until date, or a new visa will be necessary.

Bootsabong Suwanacom. When you get the one extension stamp, get a re-entry permit at the same time. Will save you time later

Does your current permission to stay stamp show a ONE YEAR ending DATE from when your extension was last granted?

Until the date mentioned on the Visa as valid until or enter before. After that date the visa is not valid anymore and a new visa is needed.

If the person use an Extension of Stay based on marriage with a re-entry permit, you have to use this before the valid until date, otherwise a new visa is needed.

I do not know if there is a website who is going to explain that a person does not have to be inside Thailand if a person purchased a visa.

See it like buying a box of milk, you can buy it but nobody force you to drink it.
