Tourist visas are used to enter the country, not to extend your stay. You can't extend a visa exempt entry with a 60 day tourist visa or evisa without exiting the country and reentering on the tourist visa to activate the 60 days.

you probably confused the 30 day extension you can get on either a 30 day visa exempt entry or a 60 day tourist visa, with the act of getting an actual tourist visa, which must be done before entering Thailand. Visas are used to enter a country, not to extend a stay once you are in the country. You probably didn't pay attention to the semantics and terms used. I am certain the Thai consulate did not actually say you can apply for a tourist visa once you've arrived in Thailand, and beyond unlikely that 100 YouTube videos also said something so incorrect. You just assumed extensions and a new visa are the same thing.

it's good until the date your existing current visa stay or extension allows. If you got a re-entry permit for a visa or extension stamp you already have that allowed a stay for almost one year left, then the re-entry permit is valid to be used until your original allowed to stay date, either to re-enter one time or multiple times depending on whether you get a single or multiple re-entry permit. The re-entry allows you to stay again until the date your original visa stamp or extension stamp says you were allowed to stay. For example, you have a visa you used with a permitted stay date until 15 August. You get a re-entry permit and leave the country today, and come back on 10 July. You will only be stamped in to stay again until 15 August, because that's the date your original visa allows you to stay till. Re-entry permits basically allow you to resume your original stay period as if you hadn't left.

You're probably talking about the 60 day tourist visa, which is valid to be used once within 90 days but only allows a 60 day stay. You can go to immigration offices in country to extend it one time for 30 more days, giving you the 90 days. Either that, or enter via visa exempt entry (no visa) which grants 30 days, and extend for 30 more days, then leave and come back to get another 30 day visa exempt entry.

there are various sellers of android boxes that either come preloaded with a bunch of pirated movies, or provide illegal pirated access to streaming channels. Don't support such unethical people when most streaming services in Thailand are so cheap already.

A chanote (deed) or other property purchase documents are not a normal document to show for proof of accommodation. When staying in a private residence (presumably even your own), you must submit an invitation letter signed by the homeowner confirming the dates you are staying there. Simply write a letter saying that you are the condo owner and confirm that you will be staying for X dates. Include a copy of your blue book that shows you are the owner. If you bought it in a Thai company structure, then write the letter from the company, assuming you are the company director, and sign on behalf of the company.

If you don't have a smart TV, any android box will include all the usual streaming service apps, or you can easily download any missing apps like Amazon Prime Videos, Disney Hotstar, etc. Unless you are asking about the illegal services that give you pirated access to streaming channels.

Both PEA and MEA bills can be accessed and paid through the apps for each company. It's easy to add your meter to the app by entering the reference number and account number from a recent paper electric bill, then you can always view future bills on that meter in the app and pay by credit card, online banking, or using the QR code in the app to pay at 7-11.

Promptpay / QR scan payments are becoming the most common way to pay. Every single shop, food vendor and service provider accepts payment this way, and for many people, they may use QR scan to pay dozens of times a week, and only use cash once every month or less.
