I did it at the airport before I flew out, it's really quick n simple. Surprisingly (or maybe not), a lot of people flying into BKK did not do it and had to wait in a horrendously long line while it took me just a few minutes to go through immigration.

If you're in Bangkok the expenses should be fine, but you're going to need a lot more than 500 for the other things.

I honestly don't think it'll happen or they'll figure out some exception. The real estate market is a huge money maker and this would alienate so many potential and actual buyers like the Chinese. It's like tripping over dollars to pick up pennies.

Depends on your financial situation, but if you're over 50 I would just go the retirement visa route which is pretty painless through an agent.
