Do a little research and you will find it can be very difficult to find a Thai embassy or official consulate that will issue a single entry non-o visa based upon being 50 or over for retirement. Most will only issue a OA long stay visa if it is in a person's home country or country of legal residence.

Even honorary consulates in some countries can no longer issue them.

First time have 800k for TWO months...  then need for THREE months after that.... 

Can go 1 month early for renew but still need 3 months 800k

When get Bank letter DONT forget to get the statement as well.  

Phuket : Photocopy ALL passport pages with anything thai, even the first entry stamp from 1 million years ago...
