For you rookies the process can be a breeze but for a newbie there can be many snags along the way. Sometimes two people can go into the office and come out with different info. My friend has an "O" visa but needs to go to Laos every 90 days to renew it. The only around this is to go back to UK and request a 1 year visa.
Here is some of the information for visa extension in case of foreign husband with Thai national wife, as of the 3rd Dec. 2008.
