Leave before your visa expires.

Whatever you do, avoid getting stopped by the police for any reason before you take care of it. You would be jailed and deported.

A retired person married to a Thai can legally work.

The new passport won’t make a difference. It’s all on the computer in Immigration.

Has to be cash, but it’s rarely asked for unless you look poor.

Americans don't get visas on arrival. They get a visa-exempt stamp in their passport (no visa).

Two weeks ago, when I checked-in at San Francisco, I wasn't asked for an onward ticket, but I have been asked several times in the past. When I arrived at Phuket Airport, I was asked for an onward ticket by the Immigration Officer, which I understand is really rare. So, it's best to have an onward ticket within the 60 day visa-exempt period. Some people "rent" and onward ticket from onwardticket.com or one of their competitors. They are real tickets that are automatically cancelled a couple of days after you get it.

You can’t get the extension at the airport. It’s rare that they ask for accommodations unless you look homeless.

Where? It’s a big country.

All of the visa requirements are on the Thai Embassy website for your country.
