TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is facing difficulties opening a bank account in Koh Lanta with a Workcation DTV visa, as banks have refused to accommodate their request. Comments suggest obtaining a residence certificate from immigration for better chances and considering options in Krabi or Bangkok, although success rates may be low due to the DTV being classified as a tourist visa.
no bank in krabi will open a bank for you on a dtv. sad but true

Get a residence certificate from immigration. Then go to Krabi and try there. But I'd still only give you a 10% chance of being successful. Thai banks do not generally open accounts for tourists, and the DTV is classified as a tourist visa.
