No. After 3 years of continuous residency on non-resident visas you can apply. The chances of being approved are slim and get worse if you have overstays or did not meet all of the requirements of your non-resident visa.
There are many ways to qualify to apply for residency requiring different levels of cash investments but all require medical and criminal checks.
It is deliberately difficult for foreigners to live in Thailand and the laws can change at any time.

No you have to apply for a marriage visa first, which is for a year and renewable, to get residence status you have to have lived here for at least 5 years then you can apply for residency, it can take another 3 years to finnally get residency after you apply, don't forget you have to have a load of money in the bank and income

No way - lol.... and if you marry your Thai girlfriend, she is not allowed to own anything more. House, land etc.
Her status as Thai will be reduced/limited when she marry a farang.
The Thais really make it tough for foreigners trying to living here.
