How do I show proof of 400,000 Baht deposit for a Thai bank account when applying for a visa?

Doug *******

Craig Park Kasikorn seems to be the least stringent. Just make sure you bring a certificate of residence, a Thai phone number with documentation proving it’s affiliated with your passport number, and of course your printed non O visa and passport. An extra ID from your home country (driver’s license) might be handy also.

Steve Kelly Photos I understood your point and as a songwriter have lived with a very similar approach to life.

But MY point is that many people are born with disabilities, or are victims of circumstance. Every journey has different challenges.
