well using an affidavit of income notary letter from your embassy isn't the same as people whose embassy don't issue that letter and have had to transfer in 65k baht a month, each month every month for the previous 12 months to get an extension.
I think going from the embassy letter to banked money would be a lot more straightforward, but again I don't issue extensions so check with your immigration office well before you're thinking to switch proof of funds methods
