ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
For retirement in Thailand with 800k baht in the bank, funds must stay in the account for a few months. If you withdraw and need to re-deposit, it's generally required to bring funds from your home country only for converting tourist visas to non-O visas within Thailand. However, 1-year extensions do not typically have this requirement. If the balance falls below 400k baht during visa extensions, you must explain this to immigration, which could lead to complications. An easier alternative is to deposit 65k baht monthly into a Thai bank account.
