Here is the correct answer for tourists.
All tourist require the 3 proofs:
1 proof of exit - usually flight out
2 20k baht or equivalent in CASH
3 proof of accommodation
You may never be asked but can be if they are deciding to let you in or not.
The airline is usually the one that could require it.

@Benjamin

no you cannot, as you did not have the funds for the original visa/extension.
You cannot provide the necessary financial evidence.
They would need an agent to continue that cycle.
That is the agent hamster wheel.
The only way to "fix it" is to break it and start over again with the real financial proof.
