How can I manage my finances with a Thai bank account while on a Non-O marriage visa?

ORIGINAL POSTER
I have a Thai bank account only because I have a Non-O marriage visa. It’s got the B400k but it is only for demonstrating proof of funds. I gave my Thai wife the remainder of our cash and assets so I don’t need money.

Without photos how do we know if this ham sandwhich really existed? You also gave such little detail it’s not helpful at all. Such as what kind of bread? Was it toasted? Source of the ham? Sauces? Mustard? Mayo. We need details.
