Do the 800,000 for the first year. Make appropriate transfers into a Thai bank of 65,000 or more each month for the first year. Then at the end of year 1 you can take the 800,000 out of the bank
it’s at the end of the 90 days when you get the one year extension when you sign up for the multiple reentry. Make sure you tell them that’s what you want.
It’s a very small amount of money to get them multiple reentry. Even if you think you’re only gonna leave once I would strongly suggest getting multiple reentry just even if you wanna go to another country for a short visit.
