TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is preparing to apply for a DTV1 workcation visa from Hanoi and inquires about potential issues with a bank balance of 500,000 Baht maintained for less than a month. Comments from others suggest that providing current bank statements is essential, and having a larger balance might improve chances. Additionally, including a cover letter detailing remote work and compliance with Thai laws is recommended.

We only had 500,000 Baht in our account for a month. My husband was just approved for the remote work DTV. My suggestion is to have a bit more in the account if it's not going to be a total of 3 months of statements. We had 21,000 USD. Also, a cover letter explaining what kind of work you do and your interest in Thailand as well as a statement saying you will not be working in Thailand and you will comply with all the laws.
