Any idea of the cost of an agent obtaining a COR?

It's not expensive. 

There is a charge from immigration office also. 

It varies. For example CW is 200b

No transactions on the account at all for 7 years so probably closed due to inactivity! 

You may be lucky.  I think accounts become dormant first before being closed, provided the balance stays above zero.  There will be a fee charged each month if the balance is less than 2000.

I don't recall what was left in the account but pretty sure it was in excess of 2000 so will find out when I visit the branch. Thanks

I am still waiting for my Visa approval after after 14 days. Does anyone know if there is a backlog at the moment?

Have you checked your spam folder for any replies from the Embassy requesting further documentation.

Yeah, I check everyday. (To be honest a few times every day). The application went from pending document check to pending approval  a few days ago so I assumed the document approval stage was complete.

Update 😀

I received my visa this morning. Please see below for details.

 

        Submitted application Tue 3rd Jun 11.50am BST

       Documents submitted:

 - Latest utility bill. (PDF file)

 -  Latest UK bank statement showing 800k+ baht/GBP equivalent. (pdf file)

 - Copy of Bio page of passport (JPEG file) (Note, file size must be less than 3mb)

-  Digital passport photo. (JPEG file) (Note, file size must be less than 3mb)

Received visa approval email Wednesday 18^th June.

Allowing for 4 days over 2 weekends and the holiday for the Queens birthday on the 3^rd June it took 10 working days.

Worth noting that the approval email came through at 12.40am UK time zone. I had only been checking for emails up until COB UK time zone. This stuff must be outsourced rather than processed in the London embassy!

Cheers

Should that be 800,000 Bt in the bank , not 80 k ? And no need to show an air ticket ?

Congratulations @hullmonkey1. I wish I could say the same. Applied on Sunday 8th June showing funds clearly in excess of 800,000THB for well over 3 months. Uploads all to the preferred specification. On my 12th working day today. Been stuck on Pending Approval for some time. The "Latest Update" states 13th June. I sent an email a couple of days ago politely requesting clarification. Naturally, I check my Junk mail. The web site states up to 10 working days, which is what you experienced, so I'm wondering what could be causing the delay. Anybody else had longer than expected waits recently?
