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.

"so get a marriage visa" ????? Why would someone ALWAYS need to get a "marriage visa" over a non-O based on over 50 years or LTR type of "retirement" visa ? Doesn't make sense.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each of them, and the choice which one is best or most comfortable depends on each person's personal situation and mindset.

At this moment it is only a draft for an ammendment in the law. Nothing is sure yet. But most importantly : that it would only apply for Thai nationals and not to foreign tax residents is just an assumption. That's how communication and 'news' works : by the time you make an interpretation of something what a news outlet wrote based on what someone expressed it, a lot gets twisted. I'm extremely confident that any amendment in tax law will apply to tax-residents in general, not limited to "Thai only". Even on official websites they use wrong English wording or wrong terminology.

Common problem. Showing QR code or printed pdf is useless, they have it in front of them in their computer.

But keep the address ready (written or printed) to show them together with your passport, because the immigration officer will want to add it manually.

because until not long ago even on the official site they used the wrong wording ? Because even a few days ago the Bangkok Post used the wrong wording ?

The problem is not tourists not understanding English, but the officials and the Bangkok Post spreading the wrong information because of their poor command of English or whatever.

The Bangkok Post quoted the chief of immigration division :

"..must fill in (..) at least 3 days ahead of their expected arrival in Thailand"

the official TDAC website, the link you gave. About the 90 days report, they write : "must notify in writing the nearest Immigration Officer, (..), as soon as possible upon expiration of 90 days"

This is wrong : first of all "as soon as possible upon expiration of 90 days" : this means that you'd have to wait for the 90 days to pass, and THEN notify as quickly as possible. Which is wrong as you can (and better should) do it earlier.

Furthermore it says "in writing", which is also wrong : notifying by sending a letter can only be done during a certain window of time before the 90 days. And there are other options also, but this text suggests it has to be done in writing.

And even "the nearest officer" is weird wording. If there are 3 officiers sitting there, you have to measure out who is sitting closer ? 555 But o.k., I'll let this one slide.

This just shows that even the information on their official website is just a big mess. I'm not surprised that people get confused. I also remember (as OP mentioned) that earlier the wording for the TDAC was something like "until 3 days before" , as if that was a deadline after which you can't do it anymore.

So now that has been removed, only to be replaced by misinformation about the 90 day report, which has nothing to do with the TDAC.
