Do I need to prove the origin of the 800,000 Baht for a retirement extension in Thailand?
I read a previous post about the 800,000 Baht applying for a yearly extension of stay based on being over 50 (retirement) using banked money but the commenting was turned off.
Do you need to prove that the 800,000 Baht was sent to Thailand from a foreign country in the original currency as is the case for purchasing condos in foreign name? I don’t see anything about this on the Thai immigration site. If this is a requirement can someone show me where this requirement is documented.

Answer summary
The question pertains to the requirement of proving the origin of the 800,000 Baht when applying for a yearly extension of stay in Thailand based on retirement (over 50 years old). Comments indicate that there is typically no proof of origin needed for this extension, but there may be requirements if applying for a yearly extension from a 90-day Non-O visa.

Dan Geisser now on the chance you're applying for an in-country 90 day Non-O visa based on being over 50 (the visa you need to have BEFORE you can apply for a yearly extension) you DO need to show that the funds were transferred in from overseas..

If you're using banked money there is no requirement to show origin of funds for your extension of stay then.

There is no proof of origin of the funds when getting a yearly extension of stay inside the country based on being over 50 (retirement).
