I don't know how it's going to be now but you can give it a shot. Bangkok Bank the branch opposite the McDonald's on Soi Buakhao. Try the young lad if he is still there.

Total circus

I have done a tm8 in Bangkok in black abd it wasn't a problem

No. You are a tourist and working without permit will land you in a lot of trouble.

So they can fine you when you fail to do it. It's ridiculously stupid.

Tunnel bear free for me

You can follow the group to see what's gonna happen with these new digital nomad visas around September/October (I honestly have my doubts about those). Until then 90 days tourist visa is your option. After you leave and reenter Thailand for another 90 then it's gonna be up to the immigration officer cause they might deny you. Best of luck 👑

Being totally inadequate in real life situations

Yes it's normal. Book your next trip and keep in touch with your Thai friends 😊
