Correct, it's an attempt to tax Thai citizens who earn money online/offshore

Nobody knows yet. There has not been a new tax rule but just an amendment to the existing rule.

I take it that you have a re-entry permit? I can't see any reason to transfer it as you're not renewing. The only problem is the IO on exit may make a fuss.

You do need a visa to leave. The IO will need to see it or he will fine the visitor for overstaying but that doesn't mean he has to transfer it.

It must show the funds are an international transfer

Banks are more likely to exchanged marked or defaced notes

They are all worth a visit so do them all and let us know what you think

500,000 baht is the max cash

The 60-day entry is not a visa it is a visa-exempt entry. As you are returning so quickly, I suggest you book an onward flight within the initial 60-day free entry, a hotel booking for the first night and carry 20,000 baht in cash. This is in case you are selected for secondary screening due to repeated entries. You should get a Destination Thailand Visa, which gives you 180-day entry and lasts 5 years. You can book an onward flight for about $14 - there are many websites but the ticket is only valid for 48 hours so book just before you travel.

I'm assuming you had to make an account to book the appointment. If you did, make another account with a different email and use that account to make the new appointment.
