I do have a question about the 2/3 month seasoning before and the 3 month after on 800000 baht for a retirement extension. Is the date this measured on the date you apply/receive the extension or is it the start/end date of the extension?
Answer summary
The 2/3 month seasoning requirement for the retirement extension in Thailand depends on the timing of maintaining the 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account. It is essential to have the full amount in your account for 2 calendar months prior to the application date for a one-year extension, and you must keep this amount for 3 months after receiving the extension stamp, though some offices may have different counting methods.

This month I will get my 1 year non O retirement visa stamp. But my Bangkok Bank account is blocked and answer is they will close it soon. Can I transfer my sezoned 800K to KBank and be counted as valid retirement?

You need to have funds of 800k baht in your Thai bank account for full 2 calendar months as of application day for a new one-year extension. Some offices ask for 3 months instead of 2 months.

“3 months after the extension granted” is counted from the day you get your new extension stamp at many offices. But there are a few offices that count “3 months after” from the day your new extension starts.

You need to check the province specific detailed policy with your local immigration policy.

It's to show PROOF of your having the 800,000 Thai baht on deposit in your Thai bank for the 2 full months before the current ending date of your one year extension of stay,

...and kept at the 800,000 Thai baht balance for 3 months after you receive the one year extension of stay STAMP in your passport.

Otherwise, the bank account balance must be at least 400,000 Thai baht for all other months.
