Any ideas?

Thanks

I think you will find they just want 'proof of funds' so that they know you will be able to afford your trip and not work or find other ways of funding your trip. Therefore mini statement(s) from an ATM in UK showing a balance of over 20000Thb equivalent (£330) should be adequate if requested. However I have never been asked.
