Can you pay a fine to Thai Immigration instead of maintaining the required money in the bank for a long-term visa extension?
Someone has just asked me if it is possible to pay a fine to Thai Immigration in lieu of having money in the bank for the full 90 days. I don't know what kind of visa this person has but the money in the bank is in reference to getting a one year extension.
My gut feeling is that the money in the bank is a non-negotiable and there will be no fine and NO visa extension if the money has not been in the bank for the full 30 or 90 days. Does anyone know otherwise?

Summary so far
The question pertains to whether it is possible to bypass the bank balance requirement for a one-year visa extension in Thailand by paying a fine instead. The user is skeptical and believes that maintaining the required bank balance for the full 30 or 90 days is essential and that paying a fine would not be an acceptable alternative.
