TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus is that a DTV (Tourist Visa) generally does not qualify holders to open a bank account in Thailand. While there may have been easier paths in the past, recent changes have made it more difficult for DTV visa holders to access banking services.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

In light of recent times, it's exceedingly difficult, not impossible, but definitely expensive and or difficult.

DTV is a tourist visa and generally not qualifying for opening a bank account.

No. Almost certainly you can’t get without the help of an agent.
