ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a NON-IMMIGRATION TYPE O Retirement Visa from the UK using the current balance method, there are mixed opinions on how long the 800,000 baht should be in your account. Some users suggest that showing it for just a month may be sufficient, while others recommend merging three months of statements to demonstrate stability. Importantly, it's clarified that the 800,000 baht requirement is relevant for extension purposes after you arrive in Thailand, not strictly for the overseas application.
