TLDR : Answer Summary

The duration required to maintain 400,000 Baht for a family visa extension in Thailand varies by location and specific circumstances. Reports suggest inconsistencies, with regions like Nakhon Phanom requiring 4 months this year, while other areas like Songkhla have reported only needing 2 months for those married to a Thai citizen. Additionally, it's noted that having a Thai child can change the requirement, stipulating that the funds need only be present on the day of application. Various financial options are available, including a combination of having the total amount in the bank or a monthly income.

400,000 baht or 40,000 baht per month or a mix of both. All 3 ways is possible.

was ich gefunden habe :

Achtung: Sämtliche Beträge müssen drei Monate vor Vorweisung der Bankauszüge auf dem Konto sein und von außerhalb Thailands eingezahlt werden.

What i found :

Note: All amounts must be three months before presentation of bank statements in the account and will be paid from outside Thailand.

all provinces should follow the same rules as set by the immigration bureau. The relevant info for visa extension due to Thai family is at 18.5 and 18.6 of the visa extension section of the immigration website
