Didn't I make that clear enough for you in my post?

I need to have my 'visa money' in my That bank a/c two months BEFORE I apply for the visa extension. Once I have been granted the visa, I can withdraw it for ten months. The amount is 400k for a married person or 800k for a person not married to a Thai. If you don't have that amount, then you can show that you have sufficient monthly income. You don't need both. There are variations between provinces but they are not massive.

If you have sufficient funds you can do what you like... Same as every other country

It is an extra payment on top of the cost of the visa. Last time I got one, it was 1,900 B for the visa and 3,900 B for the multiple entry .

When did that change?

Why not check on the Thai Immigration website? I mean, the info will be more accurate and up-to-date. The rules change often

Not that I've heard of

Yes, but you will get 30 days free on arrival by plane

It depends if you have a multiple entry visa. If not, leaving TL will cancel it, or perhaps you can buy a re-entry permit before leaving.
