Do you show all your bank balances when applying ? I have one bank account with about 5x what is needed to apply, but I removed a third of that for a few weeks recently and added it back today. And another with a lot more. It's not like I'm rich, I sold my unit. However I'm not sure if it would be in my best interests to show them way beyond the minimum requirements of funds. I'm about to apply.
Answer summary
When applying for a visa to Thailand, it's generally advisable to show all your bank balances, especially if you have significantly more than the minimum required funds. Commenters suggest that having 5x the requirement in an active account is more than sufficient, and they advise applicants not to worry too much about the exact amount as long as the minimum is met. It could be beneficial to demonstrate financial stability beyond the bare minimum, but avoid overstating your assets.

Your balance is your balance. As long as the MINIMUM is maintained you are fine.

16 years of world travel, going beyond the bare minimums like every other aspect of life is always in your favour, and just like everything else, good to not over do it, you've got 5x in an active account for over 3 months, you’ll be fine. i dont have cash sitting in regular account so i just show part of my CD portfolio because its over the minimums and time minimums too. works
