We will be travelling from UK to Thailand on 7th February and returning on 11th April. We have a return ticket to Vietnam booked so we'll get an extension to our Thailand stay. Is there a need to prove I have sufficient cash in my account to be able to allowed into the country?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand, travelers may be required to show proof of sufficient funds, specifically 20,000 baht per person or 40,000 baht per family, in cash. Additionally, proof of onward travel is necessary for check-in at the airline, and travelers should be prepared to show evidence of accommodation. While requirements can vary and some travelers report not being asked for these documents, it's best to be prepared with cash and proper documentation to avoid any issues at immigration.
IF you come in visa exempt or on a tourist visa you CAN be asked for the things that Robert mentioned
AND
If you're asked but don't have it you can be denied entry.
Good luck to the O/P in their endeavor

Okay, to be sure:
Copy all this answers, save the link on your phone, make sure your powerbank is fully charged and SHOW IMMIGRATION THE ANSWERS, before they deny you entry.
To be fair:
Immigration is allowed to ask you:
Proof of finance, 20.000 Thb or equivalent currency in CASH
Proof of onward travel within the period you get stamped in
Proof of accommodation.
IF you can NOT show, you entry into Thailand might be denied and you could be send back to the country of origin of your passport ON YOUR OWN account.

Probably a silly question When you say cash you surely mean in a bank account not actual cash?
Also as a couple I currently have at least £5000 and my partner has much more both with regular income surely this will be good enough. As a couple we should be classified as a family?
just because they did not, does not mean they can not.

There is also a need to show proof of onward travel within the 45 days you will initially get stamped in for as this is a requirement at check-in for many airlines.
