TLDR : Answer Summary
You can use a monthly deposit of 65,000 THB for either a retirement visa or a marriage visa in Thailand. However, for the first year, the financial requirements state that you need to have a minimum balance of 400,000 THB for a marriage visa or 800,000 THB for a retirement visa. Additionally, ensure that the monthly deposits are made from foreign accounts to a Thai bank and clearly marked as foreign transactions on your bank statements; otherwise, your application may be rejected.
