I just rented a condo here on a 12 month lease and my landlord filed the TM30 for me. Do I need to have them re-file each time I leave Thailand and come back?
It really depends on your lifestyle and where in Thailand you intend to stay. My first time in Thailand I ran through $10k+ in a month and spent most of my time in Bangkok and Phuket. I had an amazing trip, but it wasn’t necessary to spend this much. Your current budget is definitely doable but I would try and increase the $500 leftover to $1000 to be safe.
