Do I need to maintain 500k THB for visa runs in Thailand?

When performing a visa run in Thailand, you are not required to maintain a balance of 500,000 THB in your bank account. This requirement applies only when you are seeking a visa extension at immigration offices within the country. A border run is a separate process where entry into Thailand may come with less scrutiny regarding financial proof. However, there have been reports of varying experiences where some individuals have occasionally been asked about their bank balance upon entry, but this is not a standard requirement.
