What is the process for verifying the 500,000 baht requirement for returning to Thailand?

The conversation revolves around the enforcement of the financial requirement of 500,000 baht for returning to Thailand, particularly concerning the DTV visa holders. While some reports suggest that bank account checks may occur, others claim that entry is often without checks if documentation is in order. The general consensus indicates that unless you're applying for a long-term extension or entering as a visa-exempt tourist, the enforcement of the 500,000 baht requirement seems inconsistent, depending on the immigration officer's discretion.
