TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is inquiring about the requirements for a Destination Travel Visa, specifically concerning how long the 500,000 THB needs to be in the bank for the application at the Los Angeles Thai consulate. Comments suggest that the consulate's website does not provide specific information regarding the time period, and it may be advisable to contact them directly or upload a current bank statement as proof.

It doesn’t say anything about this on the consulate’s website, so if you don’t get any concrete feedback, you’ll probably just have to contact them and ask.
