Can I use my monthly Social Security income to qualify for a 6-month multi-entry visa in Thailand instead of showing savings?

A user inquired whether they could demonstrate financial sufficiency for a 6-month multi-entry visa to Thailand using their monthly Social Security income of $2,000, instead of the required savings of 200,000 baht. Responses varied, indicating that it often depends on specific embassy policies, with some suggesting that ongoing income might be acceptable to prove financial capability. The conversation also touched on personal experiences and varying opinions about sufficient savings and expenses in Thailand.
