What are the community's thoughts on the future of the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand?

I see them tightening the "soft power" category as it is too easy and subject to different interpretations by the Thai Embassies.

Can I open a bank account in Chiang Mai with a DTV visa?
Frank **********
@Det ******
 yes but each bank manager can add additional requirements and it should not be that way. It should be the same requirements for all branches.

@Det ******
 they are not, they are just cautious. I do believe, however, that all branches of the same bank should have the same standard for opening a bank account and the branch manager should not be able to add any other requirements.
