You can also do it yourself by bringing copy your wife's housebook and ID card. You might need a confirmation letter since there’s no lease. Although, If you're on an extension of stay based on marriage, you might be questioned about why you're not staying together.

Your wife can do it online here by registering a user;

I have maintained bank accounts with both Krungthai Bank and Bangkok Bank for approximately 12 years. Both accounts were originally opened on visa exemption and remain active. I have also updated my information with the banks several times and travel to Thailand both with visas and on visa exemption.

Recently I purchased a new phone and visited the bank to update the mobile banking application. The bank declined to assist because I had entered Thailand on visa exemption on that trip. I tried several branches and received the same response. They advised that if I returned on a Non O visa they would be able to assist.

not necessarily. See my comment.

Happens from time to time, and you can assume this will be fine. The stay recorded in the immigration electronic system is the most important element and is likely correct. Just keep your flight ticket, boarding pass, and TDAC.

Dianne Lee There is no fixed number of trips that defines "normal tourism". Immigration tends to look at the overall pattern, particularly cumulative stay. Someone entering very frequently for just a few days at a time can sometimes raise different questions, for example whether they are working or managing something locally. In the example discussed here, however, the pattern is two short visits of around 10 days and possibly a few similar trips later in the year. That is still a very normal tourism pattern. There are even examples of people making 12–15 weekend trips a year from Singapore without any issues. Ultimately immigration tends to focus more on cumulative stay rather than the number of entries. And in any case, the final decision is always made by the immigration officer at the point of entry.

Four visits totaling about 120 days in a year is still seen from time to time with regular tourists, especially when each trip ends with a return to your home country. However, once you reach that level of cumulative stay, I personally would not gamble on trying to enter again on visa exemption. At that point it would be wiser to apply for a visa before travelling, or alternatively arrange a Safe Entry service through an agent. If you simply try to enter again, you must at least accept that the decision will ultimately be made on the spot by the immigration officer you are standing in front of.

Not necessarily. Two visits of one month each only amount to a total of about 60 days in Thailand on visa exemption. Even with another 30 day visit you would still only be at around 90 days in total, which is normally well within what immigration considers ordinary tourism. Immigration tends to focus more on cumulative stays that start to resemble living in Thailand. A tourist visa can provide slightly additional predictability, but at that stage it is usually not strictly necessary.

Jason Hildebrandt Six visits of around 10 days each is still only about 60 days in total over a year. That is well within what immigration normally considers ordinary tourism. What tends to attract scrutiny is not the number of entries, but long cumulative stays that start to resemble living in Thailand. Whether the trips are short holidays, visits to a girlfriend, or a golf tournament is generally not particularly relevant for immigration.

Two short visits of around 10 days each is a very normal tourism pattern and should not raise any concerns at immigration. Unless there is more to your travel history than what you describe, you are still well within what is normally considered ordinary tourism.

Getting a visa in Laos and Vietnam is pretty straightforward. (Although the last one is only a nearby country).
