In the neighbourhood only Kuala Lumpur and Savanakhet will issue a multiple non-O. Kuala Lumphur will require at least 100,000 in the bank. Savanakhet is a bit unclear right now, but use to do it without showing financials.

Believe you have a typo as the OA visa is not issued for marriage - it is retirement. As said you will not obtain multi entry O visa in Cambodia but may in Laos or Malaysia but could require some show of financials. Issue in your home country is often the easy route. You are aware the financial proof for marriage is 400k/40k rather than the 800k/65k required for retirement?

If you can meet the financial requirements (400K baht in bank for 60 days or 40K income) for an extension of stay based upon marriage you would not even have to leave the country. Just do the extension based upon marriage to a Thai instead of retirement.

You could also get a 60 day extension at immigration to visit your wife if you need more time.
