Would someone please be able to confirm. 

Does the 500k THB need to be in my account for 6months? 

Or can I give them 6 months balance with the closing balance totalling 500k? If I transfer (top up my account to 500k) can it be freshly there?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The requirement for maintaining a balance of 500,000 THB in your account for six months may vary based on the country you are applying from. Some users indicated that it might be possible to show a balance of 500,000 THB either through historical balances or recent deposits, as one individual shared their experience of providing a savings book to meet the requirement after insufficient funds were shown in their bank statement.

In Vietnam I submitted a 6-month bank statement, but my final balance was not enough 500,000 baht, I submitted another savings book with 500,000 baht. So I think you can deposit 500,000 into the account.
