just to correct you , £10k for a minimum of 3 months prior in an English bank.
Then once your in Thailand you need to deposit 800,000 baht into a Thai bank and it must be in that account for a minimum of 2 months before you can apply for a 1 year extension.
Once you have your extension the balance can't go below 800k for 3 months then you can then let it drop to no less than 400k
However it must be back upto 800K 2 months before your next extension.
