Samsung is good, we just bought the windfree for same reasons and lot cheaper buying direct from Samsung. Check on you tube there is a guy on there does reviews of electrical reviews in pattaya.

Get a Non O from your country even if you are only here for a few weeks. Make it easier to get bank account. No idea what it will be like trying to open one in December. Its already changed a lot since last december till now (more enforcement of existing rules)

Thai with international permit is OK (need 5 year license to get IDP)

You need to check fine print on travel insurance they are all different a years travel insurance may only cover you for 60 travel days at a time.

Personally would look at getting local one in Thailand but up to you
