Do I need to have 500,000 Baht in my account for three months when applying for a Thai visa through soft power?

Wannikea *********

certainly one of the main criteria is that you are a financially stable (thailand wants people spending money) and if you just barely make it with your 500k its not going to make a strong application. The embassy may very well asked to see your last three/six months statement just to see what kind of money is running through your account.

How can I renew my retirement visa extension if I will be out of Thailand for two months before expiration?

Wannikea *********

Have you actually gone to Rayong office, explained and asked? And in theory your plan will work, except they may ask for your lease agreement, bank letters are good for a week, they will likely want to see the year statement/letter, your extension will be approved and inked in right then and there.

Visa is electronic, it will be on your evisa profile page and emailed to you, print it out, hand it along with your passport at the border

Do I need a specific visa to visit Thailand for 5 1/2 months on three separate visits?

Wannikea *********

@Rudi **********

no such rule, it's a myth. But, if immigration thinks you are milking visa exempt stamps to live here, then prepare to be pulled aside. In the OP case they are a genuine tourist staying a few months at a time, no issues.

Is the Thailand Digital Arrival Card needed for a 180-day visa renewal at Jomtien Immigration?

Wannikea *********

you can definitely apply for an extension in country, but it's a dog and pony show. Good luck. Don't leave it to the last minute in case things go south and you need to bounce.

Why are you doing an in country extension? Is it extremely necessary? Not recommended as it's basically reapplying for the visa, plus plus plus.
