Extension based on marriage using 400k method - I know bank certificate can be 7 days old, but what about the bank statement (listings) for last 2 months?

For some reason, Bangkok Bank could only provide statement up to 19th of August. I need to apply for my extension tomorrow.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a visa extension in Thailand based on marriage using the 400k method, it's important to note that while the official bank certificate can be up to 7 days old, the requirement for bank statements can differ. One user mentioned they could only obtain a statement up to a specific date from Bangkok Bank. However, other users advised that it's possible to print statements for any date range within the last six months via the bank's website. Additionally, when applying for the extension, the immigration office primarily checks if the required 400k baht has been in the account for at least the past two months by reviewing bank book entries, rather than requiring a detailed transactional statement.

Do you have a straight savings account with them or a fixed deposit account?

straight savings. Alright, I plan to update bank book tomorrow before I come, hopefully that will suffice.

update the bank book on the day you apply, make copies of the data page (your personal info) and all the pages going back that you need to copy to show the funds were there 2 months ago. That and the bank letter should do it

there is no requirement to have a detail transaction statement printed for extensions based on marriage they check that the 400K baht has been in your account for the 2 months by looking at your bank book entries

AND

if you ask Bangkok Bank can print 6 months of detail transaction history while you wait (you have to order a year)

You can print statements for any date range within the last six months on the Bangkok Bank website.
