What are the current rules for entering Thailand on a visa exemption for multiple entries?

Ludwig ***********

Being uncertain about your departure plans, and just giving the maximum days, whilst unsure about this number, certainly gave the impression that you are just trying to stay as long as possible. If you had shown a return ticket with a booking within 30 days I think you would not have had any problems. Impressions count.

What is the best type of visa for living in Thailand: Marriage, Student, or Retirement?

Ludwig ***********

Retirement visa is the easiest, if you are over 50. Marriage visa is a bit more cumbersome but has additional benefits e.g. you are not prevented from working.

Ludwig ***********

If you have an account in the UK and move to Thailand, there is no issue keeping your account. Give your Thai address to your bank and they will send all correspondence there. Once you have an account in Thailand you can use Wise to transfer money from the UK.

you have to use the main immigration office near the airport. I suggest you go to the immigration office before preparing the paperwork. Requirements vary from one office to another and from year to year.
