TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus from the comments is that for Thai visa applications, the 500,000 THB must be held in a bank account, specifically in savings or current accounts. Investment accounts, including those for stocks, cryptocurrencies, or trading, are not accepted as valid financial proof.
