What is the best embassy to apply for a Non-O visa in Thailand?

If you have a home bank account, just do an international bank transfer...or set-up a Wise account--cheaper fees

Use wise, I think i pay 45 thb a month to transfer my rent on wise

you can legally bring in upto $20,000 UD$ or equivalent in which ever currency is best for you without having to declare anything to customs upon arrival...

That should help most people or families set up and cover at least first 6 months or so I less renting high end luxury villas or penthouses on Prime BKK areas

Do a transfer from your home bank to the landlord's Thai bank. This is how lots of people to it without having a Thai bank account.

Wire transfer

Use WISE and transfer to landlords Thai bank account

You can also do a direct wire transfer from your account to the apartment building owner. Also, what residency do you think you are getting on a DTV? You won’t be able to get a bank account here

You use Wise to transfer money to the owner/agent. It takes a few minutes or a full day, and Wise usually has the best exchange rate.

You can get it here:

Just bring cash with you and exchange once you are here.

I have brought around 8-10 thousand gbp many times.

Keep it in your hand luggage.

Wise

Open a Wise or Revolut account and use the debit card.

100K baht is a mere 3,000 USD. Thirty USD 100 banknotes (or euros, pounds, you name it) would do the job.
