In the last month before expiry of your current Permission to stay, you can apply for a 1-year extension of that current Permission to Stay you have based on your original Non Imm O Visa for reason of marriage, at your local Immigration Office. When doing so keep in mind that it can take almost 1 month before the 1-year extension will be approved (it needs divisional HQ approval), and during that period you should stay in Thailand.
And when you get the final 1-year extension approval stamp in your Passport at your local Imm Office, you can at that moment buy a Re-Entry Permit, which will keep that Permission to stay valid when leaving Thailand. So then there is no need to apply for a new Non Imm O Visa for reason of marriage in your home-country, as that Re-Entry Permit will then allow you to enter Thailand again before its expiry date (1 year after your current Permission to stay expiry date).
> Doing as mentioned above, will save you the hassle of having to go through the Visa and extension process again.
Note that if you on return from USA only intend to stay less than 5 months before departing again, that there is also the option of entering Visa Exempt (providing you a 60 days Permission to stay), then applying for a 30-day extension of that Permission at your local Imm Office, and then applying for an additional 60-day extension for reason of marriage. So that's approx 5 months with minimal bureaucratic hassle.
Ban bus transportation from all of Thailand? It isn't the buses that are any problem unless they fail inspection. It's the drivers who are using cell phones, eating while driving, inebriated or over tired. If they followed protocol, accidents would disappear as far as the buses and drivers being at fault.
