Good question!

As this is the same ผ.60-ม.17 Visa Exemption as the other 93 countries, but let's see what others have to say about India passports getting the 30 day extension at the various local Thai Immigration Offices....

Can I use a Thai bank account for the 500,000 THB proof on a DTV visa?

Dca *****

that is up to the specific Thai Embassy/Consulate and what they require

Can an American receiving Social Security be approved for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)?

Dca *****

Sure, if you have any personal bank account balance of at least 500k Baht ( USD $16k if applying at Thai Embassy/Consulates in USA), then you meet one of the main requirements for a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

a DTV Visa does not have any minimum income requirements, but minimum financial requirements (proof of funds)

Since, you are receiving monthly American federal Social Security RSDI benefits, it is most likely you would not apply via the Workcation/Remote Worker/Digital Nomad track ( i could be wrong.... ), but via the Thai Soft Power track of a DTV Visa....

What are the current bank statement requirements for Thai visa applications at the consulate in Hong Kong?

Dca *****

No, at the Thai Consulate in Hong Kong, they have always required HKD $150,000.- since the DTV started in July 2024

Financial document:

Applicant must demonstrate his/her financial capability by presenting the 3-month bank statement or proof of income showing an account balance / income of at least 150,000 HKD or its equivalence in other legal currencies (national official currencies). The Consulate also accepts bank accounts from abroad, not just from Hong Kong, Macao or Thailand.

Normal DTV (non-dependents) Applicant must have his/her own bank accounts.

Well, yes, each of the nearly 80 Thai Immigration Office across the country do have discretion on their own requirements and interpretation of rules....

@Sarah *****

No, those on a Non-O Visa (Married to a Thai citizen) and Extension based on Marriage to a Thai Citizen can obtain a Thai Work Permit without the need for a Non-B Visa, as others have commented, businesses obscure this fact so that they have both your Non-B Visa and any Extension along with Work Permit tethered to them.
