Hi. If I apply for a non-immigrant OA from my own country does the 800k need to be in a Thai bank account or can I just prove funds equal to that amount in bank accounts in my own country?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Non-Immigrant OA visa from your home country, you can provide proof of funds in your own bank accounts, and there is no requirement to have the funds in a Thai bank account at the time of application.

Are you confusing the O visa and the OA visa. Neither require funds in a Thai bank if you apply for them in your home country. If you apply for the O visa inside Thailand you need funds in a Thai bank. Additionally the O visa is only for 90 days and you need to extend it at immigration inside Thailand which also requires funds in a Thai bank

you can show proof of funds in YOUR country when you apply for the OA visa
that is beyond the scope of the group, and will come down to the bank you're applying at, but as a rule a long stay visa is easier to open an account with
