ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, does anyone have experience with using a Thai account to prove the 500,000 baht three months retroactively, and should I try or have to use my foreign account to provide the proof?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion centers around whether it's acceptable to use a Thai bank account to demonstrate the 500,000 baht requirement for visa applications, or if one must rely on a foreign bank account instead. Comments indicate that using a Thai account has been successful for others.
