TLDR : Answer Summary
Foreigners holding a DTV Visa may face challenges opening bank accounts in Bangkok, as banks generally do not open accounts for tourists. However, options like Krungsri Bank might be viable if you have supporting documents, such as a 6-month rental contract. It's also suggested that using an agent to assist with the process may be necessary.
DTV is more than a simple tourist visa (the T in there stands for Thailand not for Tourism). DTV lasts 5 years and you have 180 days twice a year maximum stay, at the end of the year you have to leave the country and come back again for another 2x180 days stay. And during those 180 days you have multiple entries to the country if you wish
that has literally nothing to do with anything. The law that created the DTV very clearly says it's a tourist visa. Regardless of what you think it is, it is a tourist visa.
