TLDR : Answer Summary
For the Non-Immigrant OA visa extension, it is not required that the 800,000 THB in the bank be transferred from an account abroad; cash brought into Thailand in installments can suffice. This requirement only applies when converting to a Non-O visa within Thailand.

It's only when applying to convert to a non-O visa inside of Thailand that you need to show it was an international transfer. For extensions that is not a requirement.

Sure?

800k funds 2 months before the second retirement extension must not be remarked as international transfer?

no, 800k for an extension doesn't need to be international. It's only monthly transfers if using that method that needs to be international for extensions.
