TLDR : Answer Summary

Opening a Thai bank account with a DTV (Tourist visa) is generally not possible without assistance. Recent regulations have tightened laws surrounding bank accounts for tourists. While some agents may have helped in the past, current rules make it difficult, and even agents might not be able to assist due to new anti-money laundering regulations. It is recommended to check directly with banks for the latest information.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

There's only a couple of agents in Pattaya that have stopped offering bank accounts. Everywhere else and even other agents in Pattaya are still business as usual.

The DTV is a tourist visa, so you likely won't be able to open account by yourself. You might be able to find an agent to assist you, for a price.
