TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster inquired about the possibility of holding both an ED visa (for their son) and a DTV visa simultaneously. Responses clarified that individuals are not allowed to hold two valid visas at the same time; however, one can first obtain an ED visa and later switch to a DTV visa once the ED visa expires. Additionally, a guardian visa may be beneficial for opening a bank account.

I came to Bangkok on a guardian visa with my kids on their ED. Once I opened a bank account with kasikorn, I cancelled all of our visas and changed over to the DTV after 2 months. I highly recommend getting the guardian visa first, because the kid's school will give you a letter to help open a bank account

You can't hold two visas at the same time. Your son can be on an ED when you're on a DTV or you can become dependant on his visa.

No. You’ll have to cancel your DTV

Not sure what you mean by stack but a person can only have 1 valid visa at a given time. So you can't have an ed visa and a dtv visa together. But you can have ED first and when that expires you get the DTV.
