TLDR : Answer Summary
The assertion that Thai immigration no longer requires proof of funds for American and UK citizens applying for a retirement visa is false. Several community members have confirmed this, indicating that the requirement remains in place and may be enforced more strictly.

People need to stop relying on “I have heard” or “someone said” and do some proper research and reading.

and some people need to stop patrolling blogs and post looking to insult and drag a person just for asking a god damn question. I “ heard “ it from a visa agent but thankfully some kind people were respectful enough to help out without all the useless condescending remarks like yours . People like you make others not want to even bother with groups like this to not get randomly attacked by strange idiots on the net . and that’s a shame because these groups were created for us to help each other out. Me asking here IS doing personal research because of all the conflicting info on the internet . If I relied on what I already knew then I wouldn’t be asking …

No, whoever told you that is not telling you the truth, totally incorrect.

They're more likely to make Americans and Brits show more money than to remove the requirement

No idea where you may have heard that. Entirely incorrect.
