Good idea, but what if getting lost in the jungle without a mobile signal...

Seems like we are going the same places, I still live in Land-of-Smiles...????

If the first TM30 has an end date of stay later than your returning date, you don't need to do anything to my knowledge. When I have guests doing a trip somewhere else during their stay, I never re-do TM30s.

I was told that this year we shall pay in June, last year it was April. That's where I live, I cannot say it's the same in all provinces. You better check payment time – bill or not – as you will pay fine and penalty interest, if you pay late...

You can only have temporary electricity supply until your house is 80 percent finished, at which time you can obtain a House Book that is needed for permanent electricity supply. Temporary supply is often limited to one phase 16A and at a higher rate than permanent electricity supply. Any post and wires needed for the supply, you'll have to pay. However, when the posts are there, others can also use them. If you can make an agreement with a wire from a neighbor and a sub-meter, you might be able to pay only the lower permanent supply rate per unit; and sometimes also a small gift to the kind neighbor. Unfortunately I don't have public water supply, so I have no experience with that...????

There is no lagoon behind Maenam Beach...

Wow, I live permanently beachfront on Maenam Beach and walk half the bay every day, I've seen not seen or heard about any oil contamination, so it might be very local in smaller part of the beach. However, the sand might sometimes get dark from natural underground oil, which is so close to the seabed that small amounts can surface, where-after the dark oily sand can be moved by sea current and waves to the beaches of Samui. It's not contamination, it's nature...

Unfortunately I didn't make 2,980 baht today...????

Nice to know that everything is safe, when you cannot see it's worn out – I presume that's why components in an airplane needs to be replaced due to age and not due to visual wear-out – perhaps a bungy jump wire should be replaced by same parameter...

You pay a deposit as guarantee that you don't back out of the rental agreement; five minutes after you left, somebody else might have been accepting a lease, so it cover for loss. The landlord has been kind to you. Always look at the bright side of life: If you had made an agreement to buy land, the penalty could be more than the deposit, sometimes the full price of the land – even that you don't get the land, as you broke the agreement...

Best is to ask in the Samui sub-forum in the pinned thread about Samui Immigration. You cannot use helpful replies about what other immigration offices do, or what is general. Samui Immigration has their own rules – like for example health certificate for retirees and hand drawn map – and if you don't follow their rules, you won't get the extension of stay. Do you have a copy, or photo, you can share of item 6 in requirements for retirement extension from Samui Immigration..? Normally – which is for many years – I have used a statement from the day before, and also copies of bank book(s) updated the day before. My last extension was however back in October. The last requirements I know are these...

If you don't have the officiel letter, you can bring your son's mother and necessary documentation for her being the mother to the immigration. Without letter or Thai parental approval you cannot be sure that you can take a Thai child out of Thailand. However, you might be lucky when it's the same family name, but the young age – 6 years old – could in my view be a problem, if the immigration officer wish to interview the child. I took my daughter with same family name as me out of Thailand on a trip to Singapore without an official letter, but I brought her mum to the airport and she waited outside immigration but visible through a glass wall. However, my daughter was 13 years old and a few questions from the kind immigration officer was enough to let her pass.

993 days overstay – so he didn't come to escape the Ukrainian war...

Perhaps, perhaps not...???? This photo is from my visit last year at the wet market in Muslim Village (Hua Thanon), but perhaps it's just business...

Originally a lost golf ball detector; which worked as perfectly well as when similar devises – like a cut pair of metal hangers for clothes used for rhabdomancy – are used for detecting Hartmann grids and the like earth radiation, as well as underground water sources...

It has been like that for years in for example Bangkok, where you could see posters in the hotel lifts about always remember to bring your passport, when going outside. On Samui I've experienced a late night – i.e., early morning – drug test in one the night clubs. Only Thais should be tested, foreigners were let out. However, a Chinese couple next to me, which enjoyed their last night patying in a club before an early morning flight, didn't bring their passports and looked too Thai-Asian to be let out; They couldn't prove their foreign citizenship. So it's wise to remember the advise on Samui to always bring a photocopy of your passport, name page and entry stamp; photocopy is advised, so you don't loose your original document while partying...????

Yes, you can, when born and living abroad. You cannot get a Thai ID-card when not living in Thailand, which is the problem for OP...????

Savings are not going to be registered in a tax return form, but always wise to keep documentation that said foreign transfer originates from savings. Foreign income shall be reported in the PND.90-form under the relevant income section; i.e., for example foreign dividends in No.3-3. You can download an English translated tax return form as PDF...????

She is born abroad and have not yet got her Thai citizenship, which according to OP is an ongoing process at the moment, she has entered on a tourist visa, so she is an American tourist at the moment...????

Again, she lives abroad, and therefore need a Thai passport to get into the country as a citizen to be registered in a Blue House Book and apply for a Thai ID-card. I'm specific answering OP's question, I'm not talking in general...

As owner you can apply for registration of house master account and electronically perform a TM.30-report... https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/loginFnServlet?login=true However, it might be possible for your friends to do a TM.30 registration themselves when having a copy of the Blue House Book and preferably also a copy of the name page in your passport.

Right, but when arriving from abroad – as is the case here – she might need one...

That happens sometimes for all of us...????

Actually, you should have the tap water-supply checked for what kind of filtering is used, especially if you intend to use it as drinking water. Otherwise a two or three filter system on the water inlet would be sufficient. A 5-10 micron dirt filter, which need to be changed regularly depending of dirt, which can be one a week or once a month; those kind of filter costs less than 50 baht each, and can be bought either in Mr. DIY or from Lazada, the latter offers the best quality, like US-brand Lambda-filters. Eventual a charcoal carbon filter – if a three filter system is used – to remove bad taste and smell from the water. A 0.5 micron ceramic filter, which states to remove up to 99.99 percent of common bacteria and other nasty stuff. The ceramic filter might need to be changed semiannually or yearly. It costs around 300 baht, cheapest to buy online from for example Lazada. If you are going to use the water as drinking water you might consider an UV-lamp also – which is what is used for cleaning water in ice-factories – but that feature might be beyond your budget. The tree filter type I mentioned...
