I was going to go to my local Bangkok Bank branch to ask to have monthly bank statements emailed as a way of demonstrating ongoing +800K in my account ready for third year of retirement OA  extension due in September

Q. Is that the best way of showing ongoing bank account balance

Answer summary

To demonstrate an ongoing bank account balance for a retirement OA extension in Thailand, it is generally required to provide an official bank statement stamped by the bank, rather than just PDF printouts from an app. You will typically need to present your bank book, a recent official bank letter, and a balance statement for the past year. Different locations may have varying requirements, so it is advisable to confirm with your local immigration office for their specific documentation policies.

You will need to have these three things to prove your funds in a bank account at the time of application for a 1-year extension and the question is about 2, right?

1. bank letter

2. balance statement (account log) for 1-year

3. updated bank book on the day of application for an extension

In samui I was asked copy of last year bank book and bank statements (which is the same exactly thing just the bank statements are paid service and there is a bank stamp)

At least Pattaya always ask to see original bank book in addition to copies of the observation period (since last renewal)

You need to check with your local office for details. Many offices don't accept PDF printouts or logs from apps/internet banking as proof of record, they only accept your bank account history on the bank paper with an official stamp that is printed by the bank branch within a specific number of days from the application date. While there are some offices that accept PDF or history record printouts.
