well it’s not entirely clear he is contradicting himself a bit. He says it at the discretion of the immigration officer to let you in., but he says it’s fine when you arrive in Thailand, you’ll be given 180 days without the need to provide any extra documentation. He NEVER states immigration will ask for finincial proof or Muay Thai evidence for entering at a border, give me the timestamp where is he says that 🙄

where are you applying first, from my knowledge UK embassy only requires 500k baht as current balance, so you can have any balance between 0-500k baht during the 3-6 months beforehand but your current balance has to be 500k (last balance on the bank statement)
