Answer summary
When a bank account is closed in Thailand, the remaining funds are typically returned to the account holder. The process may vary depending on the bank's policies, but in most cases, if a customer presents the required identification, funds are returned immediately upon closure. Some accounts may be frozen prior to closure, and the return of funds could depend on various factors including account fees and the specific bank's procedures.

My Bangkok Bank account was recently closed. I had opened it around September last year with my DTV visa, and when the account was closed, I received my remaining balance back. I’m now using TrueMoney.

When you present appropriate identification they ask for in person then you immediately get your money as the account is closed at that point instead of frozen. They tell you they are closing the account, but in reality it is frozen first. Then when you either present ID they ask for to get your money, or it stays frozen until the account no longer has enough cash in it to pay the account fees.
