For the DTV must the 500k THB/equivalent be in a proper savings account or can it be in my USD/GBP etc account for the 3 months? Anyone had success with just keeping the money in their account as normal for 3 months? Please lmk 🙏

Answer summary

The 500k THB required for the Thai DTV visa can be kept in a personal bank account of any currency, including USD or GBP. It does not have to be in a specific savings account; it can remain in an accessible account that you normally use for transactions.

so I don't need to open a separate savings part and do all that hassle (hassle with my bank) I can just leave it in my instantly spendable balance/account?

AttentiveAlpaca7951 Yeah, you don't need to open a separate savings account for the 500k. Your regular account where you receive income and spend from, is fine.
