ORIGINAL POSTER
Question about the 65k monthly income method for retirement visa extension: should all the monthly deposits be done to the same bank, or would it be okay for 11 deposits to one bank and one deposit to another bank? TIA.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among commenters is that it's best to keep all 12 deposits of 65,000 Thai Baht in the same bank account to simplify the process for the retirement visa extension. While the minimum requirement is to demonstrate consistent monthly deposits, having deposits spread across multiple banks could complicate matters and increase paperwork.

The only requirement is 65k each month for 12 months.

Not the simplest way to get to “YES” if you ask me.

Make it as simple as possible for them to say yes. It also doubles your paperwork required.

KEEP it SIMPLE and have ALL of the 12 months of the 65,000 Thai baht bank deposits be in the SAME ACCOUNT

THEN arrange for the deposits into another bank account in your name only in Thailand.
