Do I need to show proof of 500,000 baht in a bank account when re-entering Thailand on a DTV?

Once I leave after my first 6 months on my DTV and come back do I still need to have proof of 500,000 baht in liquid bank account again when i re enter for the next 6 months? I keep majority of my funds in an Individual Brokerage Account so that I’m gaining interest. I’d prefer not to hold that much in a standard checking or savings account.h

TLDR : Answer Summary
When re-entering Thailand on a DTV after an initial stay, most people report that they are not asked for proof of having 500,000 baht in a liquid bank account. The requirement for showing this amount generally applies to visa extensions made within the country rather than at the time of entry. Many users have shared experiences where immigration officials did not inquire about proof of funds upon re-entry, making it unnecessary to hold the funds in a standard checking or savings account.

Hey, I recently came back to Thailand after my first six months with DTV. Came back through Don Mueang Immigration. The officer didn't even ask for anything. They just scanned the QR on my evisa, stamped my passport and signed. No questions or issues at all

Not seen any posts where people have been asked to show the 500k on entry. It is for an extension in-country where you need to show it.

Very very few reports of anyone being asked for proof of ANYTHING when entering again. And no one reporting being denied entry on a DTV.

so basically just be prepared with everything for the first entry and just be sure to have funds available for the next entries if needed. What about leaving the country during the 180 days? If I wanted to go to Vietnam for 4-5 days I can and just come back no problem? I’ve done a lot of research but don’t seem to get a lot of answers haha
