The Thai E-Visa Website says it's one or the other. The problem seems that getting a Thai bank account on a tourist visa without the use of a company is difficult. The paper work is fairly straight forward so I would only be retaining a visa agent for the bank account. I'm in Austin too, well Dripping Springs

Will I face repercussions for dropping my retirement visa bank balance below 400,000 baht?

You can build a home. Take out a 30 year lease on the land, get a usufruct clause, usually with consideration and a right of succession, again I would suggest with consideration and build.
