Which consulate will oversee my family's visa application to Thailand, and how will our fluctuating bank account impact our chances?

Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but I’ve already emailed the Los Angeles Thai consulate & the answer didn’t make sense to me. So here goes. My husband holds a Finnish passport, I have a US passport. We live in Hawaii (USA) He is a content creator & makes a living online. We are going to be applying online with him as the person applying, me & our 3 children as his dependents.  My first question is: Which consulate will be overseeing my application process? Is it Los Angeles? 

My second question is, whether our bank account situation will work… September had 35k, October dipped to 4k, November 49k, & December will be 50-100k… Would like to apply asap, like end of December or early January latest… Do you think they’ll deny because of October? Should I wait till early February to apply? 

If they reject due to not having the bank account having enough funds for long enough, will we have to pay the whole 2k (5 people) again when we reapply? 

Thank you for all your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the application process for a visa to Thailand, specifically regarding which consulate will oversee their application, how the fluctuations in their bank account may affect their chances of approval, and the implications of reapplication fees in case of denial. The community responses clarify that the Los Angeles consulate will handle the application and that short-term fluctuations in bank account balances may not significantly affect approval, provided the overall funds meet requirements. However, it is recommended that the family apply as soon as possible unless more stable funds are available.

Your nearest consulate (probably LA) will handle your application. The dip in your account might cause some questions, but if your overall funds meet the requirement and you explain it, you should be fine. Waiting a bit for steadier funds helps, but applying now is okay. If rejected, you’ll likely pay the fees again when reapplying.
