TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, opening a bank account in Thailand can still be complicated following the approval of a DTV Visa. Recent regulations have made the process stricter due to a crackdown on scams, leading to difficulties or even impossibility in account openings for some individuals. It is suggested that some expats consider hiring an agent to navigate these challenges.

It's getting stricter with time... There is a big crackdown on scams and banks have to follow new rules that make the opening of accounts more difficult; not to say impossible.
