What documents are required for a Single Entry Tourist Visa application from London?

Question

I've just completed an online application for a Single Entry Tourist Visa from the Thai embassy in London (big thanks to all those who have posted here about how to navigate the online application system) and I have a couple of questions for those who have successfully applied for this visa from London.

I've got copies of all the documents I uploaded to take with me to the appointment tomorrow, but I'm not sure if they would want, or accept, additional paperwork.

The application asked for proof of funds/income and I uploaded my last available payslip (after much faffing around getting the file size acceptable). I was wondering if this will be enough, or should I also take some additional proof like bank statements with me to the appointment? 
I couldn't see an option to upload multiple documents for each section, and if I'd scanned them all to one pdf file it would have been too large anyway.

Also, we're travelling to Bangkok, staying one night there, then going up to our home in Chiang Rai. Again, there was only the option of uploading one file for proof of accommodation, so I used the hotel booking voucher.
Will that be enough, or will they want a letter of invitation from my wife that covers the rest of the month?

Ask Thailand · Answer

The user has completed an online application for a Single Entry Tourist Visa from the Thai embassy in London and is unsure if additional documents should be brought to the appointment. They are particularly concerned about proof of funds and accommodation. Comments suggest that typically only the documents uploaded with the application are required, but some recommend bringing additional paperwork. One user confirmed they were required to provide a bank statement showing a minimum balance of £500, in addition to proof of accommodation.

I attended my appointment today and the officer took the copy of my bank statement and uploaded it himself to my application. He checked everything else and seemed happy. Got the receipt and was told to come and collect my passport on Monday.

Checked the application online again when I got home and, unsurprisingly, the status shows ‘awaiting approval’.

So it turns out you need to show, and upload, a bank statement showing your name, address, and a minimum of £500 for a single entry tourist visa from London.

Ok, I've just spoken to them on the phone and they want a bank statement that shows a minimum balance of £500. Also, the one night's accommodation proof is fine.

They only want the items you uploaded.. they took my passport and told me to come back following day and collect it along with the visa.. I took loads of additional paperwork and they didn’t want any of it.  It takes literally seconds as they just give you your passport back.

I asked a similar question last week, also for SETV from London Embassy, consensus of answers was that they expect tourists to travel around so just the hotel booking for when you arrive should be sufficient. My appointment is on Monday, but this is quite a useful link where the writer says they only showed accomodation for the first week and that was fine - [url redacted] To be honest I'm still going to take some additional documents as can't see any harm in it. If they don't need to see them then only some printer ink is lost.

If they needed to see more documents, they would have told you i the e-mail with acknowledgement of the appointment
