TLDR : Answer Summary
For visa applications in Thailand, it is not required to show 6 months of income. Comments indicate that showing 500,000 Baht in your bank account is sufficient. Some users have successfully gotten their visas with less than 6 months of employment and without providing extensive bank statements. To bolster your application, having a solid presentation letter and proof of funds is recommended.

because all are so particular about 500K Baht… please, you usually won't have baht but another currency in your account. exchange rates drift, embassies take their time… please show the equivalent of significantly more than 500k… i just put the correct amount plus 200€ on a specific account… i don't know their exchange rate, but they wanted to see more… so i did 600k (in €) and all was good.
