TLDR : Answer Summary

You can keep the 500,000 THB in a Thai bank for the DTV Freelance visa. It is acceptable in any normal personal savings or checking account. However, it is recommended to maintain the amount for at least 6 months, and having 1 million baht may help avoid additional inquiries.

The money must be kept for at least 6 months. Also I recommend having at least 1 million baht to avoid additional questions.
