It's not the point of his post. He should have done that two months ago. Now he needs to forget about the litigation until he's got himself somewhere where he's not in imminent danger, preferably his native country. Beg, borrow, not steal, sell everything, and buy two flights.

I used to think that immigration giving people who quit or lose their job seven days to leave Thailand was harsh, but actually it forces them to either move on with their life elsewhere or prove that they're capable of supporting themself in Thailand going forward by meeting the requirements for a new visa.

not wise advice. The UK government for example only provides repatriation loans to people who live in the UK, such as backpackers who get into difficulty while travelling. They don't offer loans to people who have emigrated so as not to encourage people to emigrate in risky circumstances

they're offering loans for UK residents who have run out of money due to not being able to fly home after their holiday, not to expats.

It's a tricky one for sure. Millions around the world are losing everything this year. The priority, especially for parents, always has to be having a plan b, and unfortunately in Thailand that means playing it safe by leaving before you've not enough money left to leave. The severance battle could be fought later, either from within Thailand or from overseas.

No credit card to pay for a flight back to your country? It's difficult to understand why you'd stay in Phuket until you've not enough money left to buy a new visa or leave. Sounds like you've been more interested in waiting around to get your severence than leaving and getting on with your life, which is the wrong way to be thinking.

Are you a student or tourist?

Agreed. That bus takes about 15 minutes to shoot up the expressway from Victory Monument non-stop and drops you 2 kilometres from MTT. Quick and cheap.

Thailand will need as many tourists as it can get for its approaching high season, and 1200 per month is a drop in the ocean. Presumably this is the limit of the quarantine facilities available. If it already has thousands of tourists putting money in the pockets of hotels and restaurants, economically it makes no sense to kick them out this month but politically the government may think of has to look strict by not allowing these tourists to remain for over a year i.e as long as those with a non imm, as would be the case if they can buy a STV..
