it'll be destroyed on the terrible roads en route,and if by some miracle you make it to Thailand intact then be prepared to pay 200% of the cars value in import taxes at the Thai border.Its a nice romantic idea...but a totally impractical, hideously expensive,bureaucratic nightmare in practice.Dont do it.

The easiest and most efficient option is to pay an agent to do it for you.

Bring $1000 with you just in case and change it up when you get here.Make sure that you get brand new notes from the bank or post office(and check them) as any notes which aren’t pristine will be rejected at currency exchanges.

Apparently 30 days are being upped to 90 days in the nearish future.

Then dont come I guess 🤷

You have two options available to you...put up with it and stay,,or leave and lose your money...which one you find more painful should give you your decision

Dealing with the public in general can be hard work at times,dealing with foreigners who ask the same questions all the time and don’t speak any of the language would be infinitely more aggravating.As long as I get the info I need I don’t care if it doesn’t come with a smile every time…that said,I’ve never had anything but very helpful staff when dealing with CM immigration

Fair points👍

Just extending your existing marriage visa is your best and easiest option
