TLDR : Answer Summary
You can qualify for a retirement extension by keeping the equivalent of 800,000 THB in a Foreign Currency Deposit (FCD) account, provided that the account is withdrawable at any time. However, it's advisable to check with your local immigration office, as acceptance of FCD accounts may vary, and you should also consider potential currency fluctuations.

You'd also need to be careful of currency fluctuations so best to have a decent cushion

Basically, yes, as long as that account is withdrawable anytime. But you better check your local immigration office about that before you start. Not all offices welcome foreign currency accounts.
