TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is possible to meet the financial requirements for a retirement visa in Thailand by using a combination of cash in a Thai bank and proof of income. This combination method is accepted by some immigration offices for yearly extensions of stay, although it's recommended to check with your local immigration office for their specific policies.

Ok thanks

For a yearly extension of stay there is an option to use the combination method (part banked money and part monthly income in transfers to your thai bank from overseas) BUT not all immigration offices accept it (even though it most definitely is allowed)

GO to your immigration office and see what their policy is about the combination method for extensions of stays based on retirement

Yes, you can use a combination of income and banked money

replied correctly to your YES reply.

Yes, that's the problem. Different offices making their own rules

as a rule you are correct but, there are more and more reports that offices are not accepting it,

so rather than say yes they can, the real answer is go and see what the immigration office you deal with says about it .
