Great info break down! Thank you. May I ask if you know whether 500,000 THB has to be the minimum for all 6 months of the statement?

@Đặng ***
I would guess they look at ending balance maybe beginning. But if required 6 months which is more than other embassy each statement should have 500,000 per the requirement

Sounds great... It's interesting that every embassy / consulate has different rules, this one needs 6 monthly statements, unlike others.
