About 500,000 doesn't cut it, it needs to be minimum 500K for the whole time it's required to season.

You're too anxious about applying for the DTV visa. When you have PROOF of your bank account balance statements of 500,000 Thai baht or more...in a bank account in your name only... then you can Apply for the DTV visa.

Anything earlier risks denial.

WHAT is your passport nation?

WHERE are you now?

For what purpose for the DTV visa will you be applying?
