My Non-O Retirement visa is valid until May 2025. But I plan to move out of Thailand by December 2024. What am I legally supposed to do regarding Immigration? Do I have to notify them ahead of time? Or just at the airport? Or can I just go and do nothing?

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you plan to move out of Thailand by December 2024 and do not intend to return before your Non-O Retirement visa expires in May 2025, you do not need to notify immigration. You can leave without making any formal notifications. However, if you might return to Thailand before the visa expires, it is advisable to obtain a re-entry permit to keep your visa active.

If you have no intentions to return to Thailand before May 2025, you just leave no need to advise immigration. If you do not have a re- entry permit your visa will be finished when you are stamped out of Thailand. But if you want to come back for any reason until May 2025 just get a re-entry permit before you leave that will keep your visa active until May 2025

You do nothing for just moving out from Thailand regarding immigration matters. No notification, anything.

Just unnecessary additional: You can get a re-entry permit if you thing you will visit Thailand again before May 2025 to keep your current stamp alive. If no plan to travel soon, no need to get it either.
