So I have 2 accounts(savings and current) for the section "Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)" - Am I right to put statements for both accounts onto one pdf file or just the account (savings) that just holds the min 500k THB?

Additionally, i originally made a cover letter for the Thai Embassy in London - does anyone know if this is still needed for the online application or should I keep this seperate from the Bank Statements (as a sponsor letter is different to a cover letter but translations can be perceived differnetly etc etc). I just wanna get it right the first time πŸ˜‚

A cover letter is good to add.You can include both accounts to strengthen your application, I did.

When my wife and I applied for ours online in Vietnam (Thai embassy in Ho Chi Minh) they also wanted proof of where you are. Easily enough done, a few selfies outside the post office in Hoi An. Also a bill or reciept with your name on it. Again, easy enough. Got the hotel we were staying at in Hoi An to right me out a reciept for our stay. For my wife, the moped rental shop wrote one out and signed and stamped it for authorisation.
