I emailed the help contact and left a message 4 days ago, I didn't really expect any response and I din't receive one.
Looks like I will make a trip to LA myself and submit the letter.
Thanks all for your responses.

Thank you for your responses!
I did not realize they have slightly different requirements. I am in Oakland California was planning on using the Thai embassy on Washington, DC. for no real reason, I didn't realize they had different requirements! (I could also use the consulate in Los Angeles).
From the Royal Thai consulate website page for Non-Immigrant O-A visas reads:
-or an income certificate with a monthly salary of not less than 65,000 baht.
From the Thai Embassy Washington, DC:
US or Thai bank statement or evidence of adequate finance showing a deposit of the amount equal to and not less than 800,000 Baht or an income certificate (an original copy) with a monthly income of not less than 65,000 Baht, or a deposit account plus a monthly income totaling not less than 800,000 Baht In the case of submitting a bank statement, a letter of guarantee from the bank (an original copy) is required
Would my notarized letter from Social Security showing monthly benefits be accepted for the LA Consulate?

I am moving to Bangkok and I was planning on doing it from the Thai embassy by mail here from the states. should I simply wait and start the process once I arrive?

Hello everyone,
I am in the process of completing my application paperwork for my O-A visa from the US. I meet the monthly requirements for income solely from my Social Security benefit and have chosen to use the income method instead of the deposit method.
Here is my question: I am not scheduled to receive my first benefit payment via direct deposit into my US bank until late August. I would like to have completed the visa application/approval by my departure date of August 20th. Will the letter from Social Security be enough proof for my visa application or will they demand I show an actual payment into a bank account?
Thank you all in advance.

About 5-6 years ago when iKon razors first appeared on the market I was in some short correspondence with Nick, the owner. He told me he knew of a supplier of Feather blades and to contact him when I made my move to Bangkok. I never did move as I had planned. Perhaps you can contact him? When I do move in 14 months I am bringing a few hundred over for myself. Good luck!

Stickman was a goldmine of information in the earlier days of the internet. I do miss his writing about Bangkok but there's a lot more of information available now on You Tube and Thai Visa.
