TLDR : Answer Summary

An ED (study) visa allows for various benefits similar to other resident visas in Thailand. Holders can open a Thai bank account and obtain a Thai driver's license. Additionally, studying in Thailand can also provide opportunities to learn the Thai language.

Yes, you can do those with an ED visa, just like any other "resident" visa.
