TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend a Non-O visa as a Thai spouse at Chaengwattana immigration, you need to consider the following: 1) Family pictures should be printed on photo paper and arranged on A4 paper. It's advisable to include various rooms (bedroom, living room, dining room) with you and your spouse, ensuring the house address is clearly visible. 2) A hand-drawn map is preferred over a Google Maps printout, highlighting your residence. The immigration officers meticulously check that the address on all documents matches.

Front view of house where house address number must clearly appears next to you and spouse. Bedroom, living room, dinning room with you and spouse. Chang wattana officers literally circle the address number on your photo, tm.30 slip and on your rental lease. They must be the same address number of course. Other than that, bedroom, living room, dinning room with you and spouse. Copy centers there can print them in color, sending to them via Line App.

Hand drawn map not google maps.
Best print out photos and stick them on A4 paper. Yes both totally stupid ways of doing it but thats what they usually want
Printing, as coming out of a home office printer, was not accepted. At least in Trat they need developed photographs. The glossy kind, the ones you have in your old school albums at home. See the difference? Or do you have a photo printer? Than, yes you can "print" them.
they require a hand drawn map as Google maps is not always accurate enough for a visit in the bangkok area. My wife just tapes regular 4x6 pictures to sheets of notebook paper, and they've never been refused.
you draw the map from the closest major road to your residence. Immigration uses it to come for their visit, if they visit, and no, Google maps is not always accurate enough for them to get to your exact residence, especially in compounds with multiple buildings.
my immigration office now wants a hand drawn map between my house and the immigration office 30km distant. Up until last year it was just the area round the village with major roads marked. To be fair they usually take my feeble attempts and redraw themselves
