Do I need to have 500k in my account for 3 months before applying for a visa in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for keeping 500,000 THB in your account may vary depending on where you apply. While some sources mention needing a 3-month bank statement for certain locations like Laos, others, including the London embassy, have accepted recent balances of 500k+. It seems that having the funds for a few months can strengthen your application, but it's not strictly necessary, as there are instances of successful applications with funds deposited shortly before submission.
