Is there a semi orderly guide posted anywhere for the sequence of events when moving to Thailand?

What I mean is say I arrive from the US with a international driving permit on an a 30 day exempt and grab the extension at the airport for a total 60 days, what needs to happen first besides a LEO and a 7-11 Toastie?

There must be some things dependent on others and a flow when it comes to establishing a bank account, long term rental, drivers license, Visa (ED or retirement), setting up utilities and long term phone and internet, etc

I know i need a bank account to get the visa, but do i need a rental agreement to get the bank account?

Do I pay cash to get the rental until I get the bank account set up?

Bringing an international driving permit, do i need rental agreement and the visa?

I am about a year from moving, but want to hopefully avoid a loop of denials with every action dependent on the others.
