You're being rational and reasonable. Clearly the wrong place for that kind of thing 😅

You didn't answer above. What exactly would you expect embassies to do about this?

I'd say spreading it around social media is far more effective. Thai authorities does sometimes seem sensible to that kind of thing.

Also, settle down. You'll live longer.

Monday morning (which is, supposedly, the worst) a couple of weeks ago. Fairly quiet.

You can switch to "Thai Elite" without leaving the country. Cheapest one is 500.000 baht. That would give you 5 years with no visa concerns.

It was a lame attempt at humour :) You might remember it was a hot topic a while back.

First I discovered my Danish bank would only allow me to transfer ~100k baht pr day ( => 6xFees!) So, that delayed proceedings. Second, as mentioned, I made the mistake of transferring to my Thai account first. I'm generally very ok with Bangkok Bank. But they were NOT helpful about facilitating the transfer to Thai Elite. And that part also cost quite a bit more than expected. All in all. I hate banks :)
Thomas ********************
I'm not even sure. But you do loose a lot on exchange rates and fees. Plus, again, as noted above, transferring to my bank here first was a clear mistake.

Yes. Plus bankers using me to finance their xmas party strippers.

Being a tourist, I know I probably would've been covered by the "amnesty" through July. But beyond that I would be running out of options. As noted above, it would be marriage or this.
