The 400,000 baht does not have to be deposited from a foreign bank/country.

This gets more complicated by the day! So for the initial Marriage Visa you need 400k in Thai account for 2 months. Then for every month after you must transfer 40k into it every month if you want to do a renewal?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a yearly extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national, the applicant needs to have 400,000 baht deposited in a Thai bank account for at least two months before applying. It is important to note that this amount does not necessarily need to come from a foreign bank. Additionally, for the initial 90-day NON-O visa based on marriage, proof that the funds were transferred from abroad may be required, especially in Bangkok. For renewal, one option is to maintain the 400,000 baht in the account or, alternatively, provide monthly proof of income of at least 40,000 baht transferred from abroad.
