TLDR : Answer Summary

The community discussion confirms that English affidavits of income are generally accepted by Thai immigration offices, including those in Chiang Mai, for retirement visa extensions. There is no requirement for these documents to be translated into Thai.

you are lucky, the officers in Bangkok seem to make up an exchange rate. When I just did mine the exchange rate was 32 to 1 and she used 30 to 1 :O

, The reason I asked was that some immigration offices were wanting the affidavit of income from consulates stamped (NOT translated) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs offices.

Chiang Mai is not one of those offices so you're fine.
