What are the options for opening a Kasikorn bank account in Bangkok with a DTV visa, and do I need an agent?

Steve *******

the banks don't let you open a bank account on DTV. Trust me, I've tried. I've been on the phone with the SCB head office while sitting at the Central Pattaya branch and they refuse to budge on the work permit-rule.

Thai banking is designed for the opposite of user friendliness.

How can I top up my AIS prepaid SIM card to continue using internet after my package expires?

Steve *******

Topping up money doesn't automatically give you data.

You have to buy a package in the app.

So select a package you want, top up that amount (+7 VAT) and then buy the package.
