What are the yellow book and blue book in Thailand and how do they help expats?

Pete *******

@Colin *********

a blue book is a civil registration of your address, blue for Thai yellow for non Thai. If you own a condo you can get a blue book but it will be blank. You as a foreigner cannot be registered in a blue book. A blue book has nothing to do with ownership just civil registration.

Do foreign transfers through Wise show appropriately for immigration purposes with Bangkok Bank?

Pete *******

Nope those two payments do not apply as a foreign transfer. Those are domestic transfers, you must find the partner bank used in the foreign transfer and request proof of a foreign credit transfer to satisfy immigration requirements.
