The only difficult part is opening a bank account. You might need an agent to help. You don't require insurance for the in country non o.

Or just use an agent to sort the entire process for you. Probably somewhere between 20-35k.

Laos is probably the most popular choice for a visa run of the neighboring countries

there's a paper form you fill out at immigration, you need a passport photo and photocopies of passport ID page and visa exempt stamp page. Also possibly a copy of TM30 report (done by hotel you're staying at, ask them for a copy). Normally there's a photocopy shop and photo place near immigration.

last border run I went on there were 3 of us on overstay. No issue just pay fine before stamping out

From memory I believe Kasikorn wanted my rental contract & a utility bill in my name with my address on it. + the document from your school and passport I think should be enough.

I opened mine at the Sukhumvit 33 branch (opposite Emsphere), it's reportedly reasonable foreigner friendly.

only 12k aud & 2yrs wait for that Australian (spouse) visa, plus up to 100 documents proving you're in a legitimate relationship . Marry a Thai and you can get Thai citizenship in a few years as well, if you meet the requirements.

not every instance there's way too much variability, but he does say it very often, as do others. Yet I don't see people say they aren't a requirement. Maybe x border don't normally ask, or a less nuanced response, but no one says that it's not a requirement that can't be asked for

Brandon replies to almost every post of someone with questionable history to have the 3 proofs, I and others have many times too. Not once has someone said it's not a requirement. You'd think they'd be replying here

@Charlie *******
1-2 people maybe? Almost all just say immigration rarely ask unless you have a questionable history. I think you've fighting imaginary non-believers

What non believers?? They're the literal requirements of immigration
