Sorry was having a brain drain. Deleted the comment now. Got confused about getting the initial visa and an extension.

What visa did you apply for?

No one can give a definite answer to this as it’s up to an individual immigration officer to decide.

You should be fine, but if questioned have the three proofs - 20,000 baht or equivalent in CASH, proof of accommodation for the first few nights and a valid ticket out of Thailand.

In Phuket you can use one of the three immigration offices. Phuket Town - most busiest, Patong Beach - not so busy or Blue Tree office - least busy. All have photocopy or photo places onsite or nearby.

You’ll need your passport, a copy of the passport photo page, a copy of your entry stamp in to Thailand, a passport sized photograph, a filed TM30 and fill out the forms TM7, STM2 and STM9. All forms are available onsite. Use a blue or black pen.

Probably more or less than around 1%.

You can apply in Hanoi. Use the evisa system and follow the instructions.

For a foreigner it will be a savings account.

Learning Thai language is not on the list for the soft power DTV. Muay Thai, cooking classes, medical treatment you can use but not Thai language.

What embassy? What currency? A bit more info might be needed here.

You shouldn’t have any issues travelling with both passports. If the check-in desk questions you ask for a supervisor who should know what they’re doing.
