Where is the mention of his wife being Thai because if that is the case a 60 day Extension to Visit Thai Family would give the OP a 4 month stay on a Visa Exempt entry without a border bounce?

It's a 2000B fine whether you go now or if spotted in the future, no other consequence

@Ed *******

Nobody knows how it will work. The law now says that tourists can be asked to show B (or equivalent) cash on entry. With the ETA and the use of electronic gates there can be no such check and a bank statement is no proof now so how could it be then? Let's wait to see what happens if/when the pilot scheme starts.

Sounds like Turkey does not operate the eVisa sysyem and is old school with stamps in passports

@Larry ******

If you were married in the UK you need to get it verified before going to Thailand as this will be required for your 12 month extension. The first step is get a certified copy if a British marriage certificate it is handled in Milton Keynes.

You got married once in Bangkok, the village wedding is just like having a western wedding function but no Registrar, it's just a party

@Larry ******

Getting your Visa before arriving in Thailand makes the process a lot easier but you can get a Non-O in Thailand when you have a Thai bank account which is a real problem without the required long-term Visa (such as a Non-O).

@Rini ********

You do need a TM30 and wherever you are staying in Thailand be it an apartment, hotel, guest house or private house they are all required by law to provide one (within 254 hours of arrival). Many don't (especially airbnb) so the simple solution is to check in at a cheap hotel for one and get the TM30 from there and use that the following day at Immigration.

The 800k only needs to be seasoned for the 12 month extension, not for the initial Non-O (unless you apply at Jomtien which needs seasoned funds for both).
