If I need to have money banked in Thai account for a ‘Married to a Thai Spouse’ long stay visa, does this to be a current account, an investment account or a foreign currency deposit account?

Many thanks in advance
Answer summary
To meet the banking requirement for a ‘Married to a Thai Spouse’ long stay visa in Thailand, it is suggested to use a savings or current account, as these accounts allow for easy access to funds. While deposit accounts could also be considered, they may not offer the same level of liquidity. Additionally, it is important to provide proof that the money originated from outside Thailand, and some community members raised questions about acceptable documentation, such as showing cash receipts.

Is it true you have to show that the money came from out of the country, if so what kinda documentation will they accept?

If one brings cash to put in a Thai bank will a photo of the bills serial numbers work?

Mine was in a deposit account. I would imagine it has to be some where it can be withdrawn easily.
