No. As it is multiple entry.

Living in Thailand based off of being married to a Thai requires you to demonstrate 400k THB in savings. If you do not have at least that amount of money to show, what would you plan to live off of?

Smart people book it. Smarter people book it (reputable travel insurance) in their home country before departure.

If it’s your first time abroad / doing visa … just travel a few days / weeks, first. That does not require a visa from UK to Thailand.

From all I know it needs to be money in a savings account.

I added the text I used as a template in a separate comment now.

Because of high demand both here and via private messages, here is a template of the letter that I wrote printed on company paper and with a company stamp and signature. I sent the following in both English and German language:

I am not a big fan of mass tourism, either. But more than that I occasionally criticize the quality of the tourism more than its quantity. It is a double edged sword. Luckily, there are still nice places to be found in Thailand where one can avoid the big and wrong crowds. So, with your permission … I would like to enter. 😄😉

@Jozef ********

could only be Thailand for refusing to re-enter earlier. Cannot be Laos holding you.

Cambodia or Malaysia. Not too convenient however, if coming from Pai / northern Thailand. I would just fly out for a quick vacation. Or stay in Laos for a few beers.
