TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among community members is that a DTV visa (which is a tourist visa) does not allow holders to open a bank account in Thailand, as it does not permit working or holding significant roles in a company. It's advised to seek more appropriate visa options for banking and business activities.

In what way do you have a company in Thailand? You can't even be a director of a Thai company on a DTV far less do any work for it. At best you can be a minority shareholder.

 being a Director involves doing work for the company at some level or other, even if its just approving company board minutes. Not allowed on a DTV
