The 800,000 baht must be in your account 2 months prior to your extension and 3 months after your extension is granted and for the remainder of the year you can’t go below 400,000 in your account.

It can’t go below 400,000 baht.

Can’t drop below 400K baht at any time, and 800K baht for three months after extension is issued and two months prior to next extension.
