A checklist for easy reference:

Not for a minimum of 120 days after the king signs it into law, is what Thai legal experts say about how long laws take to come into effect in general, and then there could be additional delays that are not predicted so I wouldn't count on it happening right away.

Yes.

I was stuck with mine until I went to Viantiane and paid for a visa with them. Hope he has better luck than I did

Not unless it's at least partially reciprocated in some way that benefits Thai people

Language school sent a message from Kasikorn Bank a while back saying they will not allow ED Visa holders to open accounts anymore either, so something has definitely changed. I already have an account so not concerned personally, but good luck to everyone trying to get one in the future and be advised about that particular avenue being closed.

What a miserable human being. 🙂

I was asked to show proof of onward travel by Delta Airlines and Korean Air in 2022 and earlier this year as well. So it's good to have a ticket in case you are asked. You never know.

My wife is Thai and was able to enter Thailand with her Thai passport with less than six months validity, she renewed it after we arrived and it was fine. Just have her do that

We moved to Thailand with our cat, flew Korean Air as they had similar policy and would allow her to be in the cabin. Gave her anxiety medicine shortly before leaving for the airport. She was very quiet for the first half of the flight and then very upset for the second half. We offered food and water but she wouldn't eat sadly. Too scared 🥺 She did not enjoy the trip but she got here safely, all her documents were in order and we paid a small fee at the airport upon arrival and that was it! As long as your dog is small you should be fine
