Hi this might be a silly question but when proving the bank balance, does it need to be a business account? Or can it be in any account?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When proving a bank balance for visa purposes in Thailand, it must be in a personal account under your name. Business accounts are not accepted.

Definitely not a business account. A personal savings account is best
