This isn't a visa question but what are the different ways to fund a K-bank account? I know cash deposits work, but what other options are available?

TLDR : Answer Summary
There are several ways to fund a K-bank account in Thailand besides cash deposits. Options include bank account transfers via SWIFT, using international money transfer services like Wise, Moneygram, Western Union, Xe, and Revolut. However, depositing foreign currency through Kasikorn's money exchanges may not be advisable due to poor conversion rates. Additionally, there are discussions about using services like Schwab to avoid fees.

Bank account transfer (SWIFT), Wise, Moneygram, Western Union, Xe, Revolut, etc. Though probably the worst way would be to use one of the Kasikorn money exchanges and deposit a foreign currency. They usually give a terrible conversion rate.
