Hello, I plan to go to Vietnam in the 10th month of my first year on a non-immigrant OA visa. I will stay in Vietnam for 3 months. When I cross back into Thailand, will my visa expire? Or will it be renewed for a second year? Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you leave Thailand on a non-immigrant OA visa and return after three months, your visa will expire unless you return before the expiration date. To maintain your visa status, you must also obtain a reentry permit if you plan to leave and re-enter during the validity period.
OA RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
Go to the OA Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Explore recent discussions by using the OA Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
Remember to update the insurance as your extension if any is only valid until the insurance expires

So I'll return to Thailand before my visa expires to extend it for 12 months and then I'll go back to Vietnam. OK, THANKS

You will need to enter Thailand before the expiry date/enter before/valid until date written on the Visa to get another one year stamp. If you plan on leaving Thailand during that second year you will need to get a reentry permit to keep your stamp alive. If you're leaving on the 10th month and coming back 3 months later you can kiss your OA goodbye.
