ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
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.
