Hi I obtained an OA retirement visa last November from UK. After returning to uk in April I am planning to come to Thailand in October for six months. Will my visa be stamped for a year on arrival or will I need to apply again in November? Given that it was obtained in UK what info will I need to reapply in Thailand please?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has an OA retirement visa obtained in the UK that is valid until November 2021. They are planning to return to Thailand in October for six months and are inquiring whether their visa will be stamped for a year upon arrival. Comments clarify that as long as the visa shows a valid period and proof of the necessary health insurance, it can be stamped for a year from the date of arrival. However, if the original visa is expiring, reapplication may be necessary.

As long as you can show you have proof of a year's worth of the 100K USD covid insurance AND the 40k/400k out/in-patient regular health insurance you will get stamped in for a year from the date you arrive (OR as long as your insurance is valid for up to one year)

So the sticker you got in the UK has a "valid until" date of Nov 2021 correct AND it was sold to you as a multiple entry O-A (it will say so under number of entries)?
