It's got a lot harder to get bank account in Thailand even via an agent. Better to get non o from home using a proper bank, get the non o go to Thailand open a bank account transfer the required money into it then apply for the one year. Wise will not be accepted for either application or the one year.

You have entered Thailand so visa valid date doesn't matter anymore. The stamp date you got in your passport is what matters now that should have been 90 days from arrival day
