I’m currently on the 90 day non immigrant O visa, I received a 60 day extension to apply for a marriage visa ,

but having second thoughts , as you have to redo the whole process every 12 months,

if I arrive on a 90 day non immigrant visa , can I automatically apply and receive another 90 days without leaving Thailand ,

6 months a year would be okay for me to stay in Thailand

im Australian

That will ease things a lot and COULD help you with longer stays than usually allowed

You need to consider carefully how and what...
