TLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus is that your Thai bank account will not be closed when you switch from an ED visa to a DTV visa. It seems that once a bank account is opened, the type of visa does not affect its status. However, prolonged inactivity might lead to different consequences.

No - it will not be closed. I had one dormant for about 4 years with a couple of thousand Baht in and they did not close it.

 random semi-related question mate. Do Thai banks generally charge account keeping fees?

 I have no idea lol. If they do it is so low I have not noticed. There is an ATM charge by some banks for withdrawals outside home bank province but I am not charged this for whatever reason.

No, it won't be closed. It doesn't matter what type of visa you have once the account is open
