if I had to blame anyone, I would pick on the people trying to stay here by abusing visa exempt for 60 day extending 30 days and trying to repeat with a border run.

If your trips are 7 or 14 /days, your be fine, if there 60 days each trip (worse if more) expect to be grilled

Not Bangkok bank

The TDAC replaced the old written entry form into Thailand and such needs one per foreigner every time they enter Thailand

It does not give you the automatic rights to use the Thai lane although I have done so with my Thai wife in the past and many others have done as well.

Normal Prachinburi

Its normal tourist activity

@Sean **********

so which bank do you get it paid into?

Thai General Insurance Association (TGIA). Their website longstay.tgia.org provides an approved list of member insurance companies that offer health insurance plans compliant with the O-A visa health insurance requirements

Kasikorn Bank (KBank) routinely issues these forms for Wise transfers marked as foreign inflows, unlike recent issues with Bangkok Bank where deposits often lack proper international coding.Request the form at any KBank branch with your passport, account details, and transaction reference—typically free or low-cost (under 100 THB) and issued same-day if the transfer qualifies.
