What is your nationality, history of visits to Thailand, soft power or staycation? These can all influence the decision to select you for secondary screening.

I kept getting text messages from AIS about account identification, so I went to the shop with ID, and they took a picture of my passport and of me. So I'm ready if Bangkok Bank call me in. Last year, a large number of unregistered phone SIMs were cancelled. My Thai girlfriend had to get her SIM reactivated.

I was rejected last year at Nakhon Sawan because the requirement of 4 photos (2 outside and 2 inside) has now risen to 8

Yes, the most correct but not the most accurate. In reality nobody bothers to register unless they earn money here. My tax office (Nakhon Sawan) told me only to register if I bring money onshore to Thailand that is not taxed elsewhere. Even though I'm here for more than 180 days they are only interested in you obtaining a TIN if you have an actual tax liability.
