Often money can clear problems in Thailand.

If you have automatic updates, you should not worry, a new version will come automatically. I bought a Win10 Pro, this is what I have now from automatic updates...

Aluminium cans – and plastic bottles – has a value for garbage-collectors and will be recycled, glass bottles don't have enough value.

Sounds like an old Koh Phangan news-story from last year – or perhaps it's just some, not reading the news and therefor aware of that it is illegal to work without a permit and correct company set-up...

Probably just withheld income tax...

Yes, seems definitely like that was the reason...

If someone don't pay business debt, you use a lawyer and court system – or write if off, if the debtor is from a foreign country, where there might be a doubtful debt collection...

AN-forums are extremely helpful in reply to questions and fgeneral knowledge about Thailand. Furthermore, the news-secrion keeps one updated with what happens when you stay/live in Thailand, some of the items are very important knowledge for expats.

Have you used this for travelling alone with a minor Thai child? For Thai-immigration you might need the official Thai-document for travelling alone with a minor Thai citizen; se my above reply.

You will need a letter from the local Amphor-district office to prove that you have permission to take your daughter out of the country. The mother need to be present at the Amphor-office to confirm this. The letter is an official standard document and looks like this (the document I used when travelling with my daughter)... Upon check-in at the airline you should use your daughter's US-passport, which will make her eligible to travel without a visa. Your daughter needs to exit the immigration on her Thai passport, if she has no entry stamp in her US-passport. Don't show her US-passport at immigration. The immigration officer may ask for permission – i.e., the letter – very likely, when a father travels alone with a very young minor out of Thailand. Me, I was never asked, but first time I travelled alone with my daughter she was 13 years old, but the immigration officer asked some questions in Thai language to my daughter.

In short: If there is no will 50% will go to spouse and 50% to children, if any, or parents and other siblings...

A problem with government handouts is that somebody are going to pay for it. Right now that "somebody" doesn't seem to exist, so the government is looking for multiple fund-sources, among others casino-income and taxing foreigners...

This government is desperate to find income sources to pay for their election promises...

It's depending of the local immigration office. There iss a police order (don't remember the number by hearth) stating that you don't need to re-register a TM30 when you are temporary staying in other domestic places/other provinces, and even when travelling abroad with a re-entry permit. However, the immigration office where I stay don't follow the police order (I've shown it to them) and claims a new TM30 if one has been out of the province.
