TLDR : Answer Summary
For the $800k required for the Thai retirement visa, you can use any Thai bank that allows instant access to your funds. However, most options may not offer significant interest rates, and fixed accounts could also meet the requirement.

Any Thai bank account that allows instant access to the funds which rules out any accounts that might offer a bit of reasonable interest.
