TLDR : Answer Summary
The required duration for holding 500k baht in your bank account before an application can vary by embassy. Some embassies require the funds to be held for 6 months, while others, like the US embassy, may be satisfied with a recent statement showing the current balance.

Totally varies. Some embassies want to see 6 months and others like the US just want to see what's in there now.
