What additional proof of financial support might be needed for a visa to Thailand beyond a bank statement?

Has anyone ever needed to prove how they would support themselves in Thailand beyond the bank statement? I'm preparing for such a scenario in case they ask since I don't have any income right now.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a visa to Thailand, especially if you currently have no income, it's essential to consider additional proof of financial support beyond just a bank statement. Some expats have successfully provided investment statements or demonstrated significant savings in their bank accounts as evidence of their financial stability. Notably, certain embassies may specifically request this information.

I did, as I had very limited online income when I first applied. I submitted investment statements in addition to the 500k bank statement.
