Do I need to transfer money to Thai girlfriend for Schengen visa?

She indicates that this is a problem, because when applying for a visa, the Thai government will think that she is going to flee to seek her happiness elsewhere. However, if she has around 2.000 euros (in Baht) in her account and can prove it, the Thai government will know she has something to come back to and issue a visa more quickly.
