TLDR : Answer Summary
The 500,000 Baht requirement for Thai visa purposes can be met with funds in either a checking or savings account. There are no restrictions on the type of bank account, and the important factor is that it must be a personal account in the applicant's name. Previous monthly statements may be requested to verify the funds.

It simply asks for a personal bank account in your name only. There is no designation of what style of account
