TLDR : Answer Summary

In response to the question about whether the 500,000 THB for a DTV can be held in a Thai bank account, it has been confirmed that a Thai bank account is acceptable. However, applicants should be aware that embassies may impose additional requirements, such as providing several months of bank statements, to ensure that the funds are genuinely held and not just borrowed temporarily for the application.

Thai bank account works. Just be aware that - depedning on where she will aplly for the DTV (obviously only possible outside of Thailand), quite some embassies make up additional requirements (not explicitly written in the law) to see a certain amount of months in bank statements. Likely to prevent people just borrowing the 500k just for the time of the application processing. Just as a heads-up.
