There is no choice between "digital arrival card or visa". EVERYBODY (except when arriving with a Thai passport) has to fill in the arrival card. Your choice of visa - or lack of visa - is irrelevant.

Not correct : it has to be cash. They don't accept proof of funds. But can be any currency, (Note : Nowadays younger generations have redefined the meaning of cash as meaning money in your bank account. But cash means the money which you can hold in your hands and put in your wallet, not what your mobile app shows.)

Keep at 89 days maximum. Do not count 90 days the way most people do. The way of counting is each day you're in Thailand is counted, NOT the number of nights you spend.

For example : if you get stamped in an hour before midnight, then THAT day is already counted, even if there is only 1 hour left. Same with stamping out an hour after midnight. It's a mistake many people make.

Parking space : depends on the condo AND the unit. Different sizes of units can have different rights.

For a fixed parking space : IF it is on the chanote, then you really own that space.

So you'd have to ask for the particular unit you are inyerested in if there is parking space , for how many vehicles, free parking or fixed parking, and if the fixed parking is on the chanote.

And for the free parking you have to ask which ratio parking spaces/parking rights there is. --> very important. E.g. 70% means that there is a gamble that at any given moment only 70% of the owners are actually using their right to park.(some don't have a car, some are out of town, some units are empty,...) Anyone arriving later that day can't park.

may be true in many or most cases, but even if you have enough money you may need meeet the criteria for wealthy pensioner : to be eligible for WP, it depends on the way you have enough money - just having lots of money isn't enough.

If you are using the immigration office of Bangkok, then you can go 45 days early for the extension.

First you say to get a marriage visa, now you say the best is a DTV ? Makes no sense. The best visa depends on each person. And the "marriage" visa you say they should get comes with its own cons also.
