You could, and you wouldn't even need to go home. You just need to leave Thailand to apply for the DTV. But that won't keep your bank account safe. If they decide to update your KYC or you lose your ATM card, get a new phone and run into complications with the app and need to go into the bank, or any other number of things, you might lose your bank account when they check your passport.
