It is not hard, and it frees up 400,000 baht for other uses.

US, why would it be difficult to get a letter from your pension provider of the amount?

Does you pension meet the minimum requirement? If so, the paperwork should not be hard to get. I down load and print a letter for verification every year from a website.

A dog that small can be carried as luggage in a soft case that fits under the seat. Check with the airline for requirements and Thai customs. The paperwork was not hard just follow all the instructions. The coat should not be more than a few hundred dollars.

In 2013, I brought a britney dog to Thailand in a cage as checked luggage. The airline charged me $200, and the vet BS was less than $100. The airline checked everything but Thai customs didn’t check anything just asked me the value of the dog for taxation.

In the past a round trip ticket was sometimes cheaper. It makes zero sense, but check it.

Figure out why you made friends with and trusted a pathological liar.

The burning is bad, but manageable. The rest of the year is great. I lived there for 4 years, and would plan trips to beach areas during the worse of it.

Use your bank to challenge the charge. It worked for me dealing with accidentally buying two plane tickets on Traveloka.
