Did you even read there web site?  It is clearly spelled out with the form available for download and filling out (you sign in presence of Consular Officer).

Download and fill out form from this page https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/notaries-public/income-affidavit/

Make appointment or attend outreach to have form signed https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/acsappointment/

They don't verify your income. As said you complete the income affidavit and swear an oath in front of a consular officer it is true and correct.

Remember it is a sworn affidavit which is no trivial thing, lying under oath is perjury with 5-year jail sentence in USA.

Are you aware if it is the same for Canadians, where they do not actually verify anything?

When you are in the Embassy, or facing a Consular official, it is same as being on US soil.

How would they ever prove you are lying?

The affidavit just says you receive X per month from 'the government or other sources.'

Every month I could hand you 80,000 baht and you could hand it right back to me.

As per the affidavit, you can truthfully say you have received 80,000 each month.

The American Citizen Services provides outreach services around the country.  Might save you a trip to Bangkok.
