If you use 800k banked money for an extension of stay it does not have to come from outside Thailand. However if you are using 65k per month (12 months) then the money has to be transfered from outside Thailand. Also if you apply for a nonO retirement VISA inside Thailand then the 800k banked money mist come from outside Thailand.

if you enter Thailand o a tourist visa or visa exempt and buy a nonO visa in Thailand then you have to show the money came from an international source. However if you enter Thailand on a nonO visa purchased outside of Thailand the when you apply for a 1 yr extension of stay it does not matter where the money cones from.

Be careful even if your US policy covers you for international travel. Most US policies only cover hospital costs for medically necessary treatment. If you get a positive test in Thailand with no symptoms you will be sent to the hospital for quarentine without treatment and your insurance most likely will not pay (bills of 250,000 to 350,000 Baht have been reported). The Thai based insurance plans will usually cover this
