TLDR : Answer Summary

The 800,000 baht deposit for a visa extension in Thailand must be sourced from overseas and must reflect as 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account. It appears that the source can be flexible, as some users reported successfully using funds not directly tied to their home country.

it all depends on the immigration official, some will reject your application if the bank statement doesn't show the international transfer code

Go to Pattaya for a week visit an agent who will open a bank account and lend you the 800k for a short period to get the visa
