Can my father sponsor my DTV visa application for Thailand, or is personal funds required?

Hey everyone! I’m planning to apply for the DTV from Pakistan, but I’m a bit stuck on the financial requirement. Since sponsor letter is also acceptable, my father is willing to sponsor me and has enough funds with 6 months of bank statements.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation?

Will Thai immigration accept a sponsor letter from a parent, or do they strictly need the money in my account?

P.S: i earn a steady income of around USD1.5k/month and have around USD 5k in savings myself.

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!
