Is a partially localized bank statement acceptable for a Thai Tourist Visa application?
Ang *****
Submit as is - if not acceptable they will inform you. They are interested in the numbers so the minimal English should be enough.

Suggestion - as it was never confirmed to me. Booking agents are contracted to a set number of rooms. Hotel is not. Therefore agents need to lesson liability by offering super cheap deals. If they sell at cost - they still break even.
