getting a second year out of an OA is NOT getting an extension. You are not extending anything, you are merely utilizing the OA to maximize your stay. You need to under stand the terminology. An extension of an OA requires funds in a Thai bank account.

Start with getting the list of requirements from your local immigration office.

no, he is talking about the OA, it is you who doesn’t understand this thread. The question was about obtaining an extension of the OA, this can only be done with funds in a Thai bank account.

having a funded bank account is a requirement you need to meet to convert a tourist visa into a retirement visa. Pretty straightforward.

Provided you meet the financial requirements for a Non-O visa the cost to convert from a TR is 2000 baht.

so even the group owner is calling out your nonsense and is threatening to ban you from this group for spreading misinformation. You are simply incorrect and ill informed.
