When applying for the one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national, does the immigration office in Jomtien check if the 400,000 Baht on my account came through transfers from a foreign country?

Background: I moved from Chiang Mai to Chonburi and opened a new account here, but a part of the 400,000 I transferred from my old Chiang Mai account.
Answer summary
When applying for a one-year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national, it is not specified by immigration that the 400,000 Baht must originate from foreign transfers. As long as the funds are maintained in a Thai bank account for at least two months, the specific source of the funds does not seem to be an issue according to current regulations.

The seasoning requirements for a one year extension of stay based on marriage are 400K THB in a Thai bank account for 2 months. It does not say where the money must be from.

I believe only the INCOME has to come from outside Thailand, unless you have a work visa.

The money (400,000)does not need to come from outside of Thailand in this instance
