I got this from my office last week. Much the same. However, last year, for monthly payment route they also required my UK bank statements to show money leaving UK corresponded with money entering Thailand.

Nakhon Phanom.

all my marriage extensions required the details of my son. I don't know why but immigration insisted and it was easier to comply than argue
