You are grandfathered under the old rules, meaning 400,000 in the bank will do. The only difference is that now the money must be in the bank 3 months before you apply for the extension.

As for 4): You'll have to wait until you are 50 before you can apply for an extension "to be with your kids" without having to prove income or funds.

As for 5): It certainly won't do you any good - as far as the authorities go - that you are having income in Thailand without a workpermit.
