ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can put 800,000 THB into a Thai bank account and leave it there for your annual visa extension. This method is often considered the simplest way to meet the visa requirements without worrying about fluctuating amounts over time. It is advisable to keep a little extra to account for any unexpected fees that may drop the balance below the required amount. While some users mention that you can perform minimal activity (like a small transaction) to keep the account from becoming dormant, the general consensus is to avoid touching the 800,000 THB, and simply allow the account to earn interest. There are also discussions regarding combining monthly income with the 800,000 THB for visa purposes.
