ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The approval process for a Thai visa from the UK, particularly concerning the requirement of having 500,000 THB in the bank, appears to be relatively lenient based on user experiences. Many applicants have reported being approved even with recent deposits or without a long banking history. Comments strongly suggest that the London embassy is regarded positively, with users providing positive feedback about rapid approval times and minimal seasoning requirements for funds.
