Can the 500k THB for the DTV be held in a foreign bank account instead of a Thai bank account?

The 500k THB or its equivalent for a Thai DTV visa can generally be held in a foreign bank account. However, it is important that the funds are in an account that is instantly accessible. Applicants have successfully used their home country's bank accounts without issue, as long as they can provide bank statements showing the account balance. Some users mentioned having success with different types of accounts, including brokerage accounts, though this could vary depending on the embassy's requirements. It is advisable to have the money in an account that allows for immediate access, rather than a fixed savings account.
