Perhaps you just give up, spend your time elsewhere Laos (Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng plenty to go see there) make a real trip out of it - or Vietnam fly back to BKK in time to meet your flight to Europe - just as an international transfer. Some other suggestions on here may or may not work for you now - it might cheaper to get a flight change. Thailand don’t want you at the moment - get a visa via gov site next trip - good luck bud whatever you do

I transfer from my UK bank to Thai bank via Wise. This month fee was £11.2 = 475 bhat. Just checked what bhat cost would be = £4.86 (206 bhat). Suggest you look to set up wise account for international transfers will work out cheaper than what you costs seem to be

METV (6 months) likely avoid less questions although I was still asked once 2+ years back for proof of exit at BKK which would normally be an airline request if any. It’ll give you 60 days each trip with option to extend 30 days per entry so could actually work out to c9months. took up to a week from application if I remember correctly

- create account, fill in details, upload supporting docs - good luck

Might be worth just booking a cheap flight to neighbouring country (Cambodia used to be cheap but Vietnam looks cheapest from my quick checks) as proof of onward travel (throw away or pay the extra for cancellation) about 80AUD but can be less - book yer real flight back to Aus when you want

I feel yer pain man
