Do I need my own bank statement for a tourist trip to Thailand if I have a sponsor?

If you have a sponsor for your trip to Thailand, you may still need to provide a personal bank statement. While visa exemption rules for Filipinos allow entry without a visa, there are financial requirements, such as showing proof of funds (10,000 THB for individuals or 20,000 THB for families). Generally, checks on these financial proofs are rare, but it's advisable to be prepared, especially if traveling alone.
