TLDR : Answer Summary
When renewing a retirement visa in Thailand, you must consistently show either 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account, a monthly income of at least 65,000 THB, or a combination of both. The funds must be in a Thai bank account and seasoned for three months prior to renewal, except for the first application which is valid for only 60 days.

Do the funds have to be in Thailand or can it be in your home country bank?

The money needs seasoning for 3 months for subsequent renewals. (First application is only for 60 days).
