Yes you can. If you wish to stay in Thailand based on being married to a Thai national you must basically:

1 Have been married in Thailand, or have your overseas marriage registered in Thailand.

2 Have 0 baht in a Thai bank account in your name, or have an income of baht per month.

3 Apply for a 90 day non O Visa.

4 Apply for a 12 month extension of stay (indefinitely as long as you satisfy the requirements).

There's more to each of these steps, check at your local immigration office for details.

Good luck.

Thank you, would you say certified translation is sufficient initially, or is legalization also recommended?

@Tom *******

I would be working legally

I'm no expert but reviews seem to say stay away from bio cam belts (timing chains are better anyway), oil pumps that drain quickly during an oil change and dual clutches. If these mechanical type of issues are important to you, speak to a good experienced mechanic as to whether any are applicable to vehicles in Thailand.

I am not sure what can or cannot be done in France, and I speak under correction here. I believe steps 1 and 2 can be done in Thailand and a further requirement is to obtain a Kor Ror 22.
