TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for an extension of stay in Thailand using monthly income from abroad, a 12-month bank statement is a basic requirement even if you submit a credit advice as additional proof of income. The credit advice serves to supplement the bank statement to validate the source of funds.

Have you been transferring at least 65k every month from abroad and will you have 12 such monthly deposits when you next apply for an extension?

You'll have to check with your immigration office.

Yes. The 12 month statement is a base requirement for the extension. The credit advice is supplemental documentation that works on top of your bank statement to show the source of the funds.
