@Nongnuch *******
 you could be right, I have Googled 90 day non o visa requirements, 1 of the requirements is 1k income every month into uk bank account. Or 400,000 in thai account. Just looked at documents I sent for evisa on my phone, my bank account statement showed more than the monthly income requirements, so that's why I thought it hadn't changed.it changed April 11th. I came in March last year and came back in September after a month extension, and a trip to Vietnam,when I went to my local immigration office chainart province, they didn't ask for proof of funds ???
