TLDR : Answer Summary

Opening a Thai bank account with a DTV (tourist) visa is generally difficult. Recent rule changes have tightened the process, and individuals typically cannot open an account independently. It is suggested to seek assistance from an agent, although this may involve additional costs. The general consensus among community comments indicates that possessing a work permit is usually necessary for easy access to banking services in Thailand.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

The DTV is a tourist visa, so you likely won't be able to open account by yourself. You might be able to find an agent to assist you, for a price.
