The situation in Thailand seems gloomier from the inside than from the outside I must say. And anyone married to a Thai woman should know better than thinking I could ever explain anything better than her reasoning.
It's a done deal as long as the borders are open and flights resuming
Not gloomier, just more realistic.

What's so difficult about making tahini.
Buy a pack of sesame seeds(Tesco), put in frying pan and toast for four minutes,
let cool, put in blender with a little olive oil and squeeze of lemon, blend and
you are done.

Your bank account is now under the Immigration spotlight year round (and not just to the tune of 800k minimum for 3 months prior to an application). The current minimum requirements are 800k for 2 months prior to + 3 months following an application, reducing to 400k for the remaining 7 months.
EDIT: I see that @dick turpin has beaten me to it!
You've got to get up pretty early in the morning.....

Its been clearly stated since March last year that you need to provide proof of 800k in your account
for three months after your last extension, 400k for the next seven months, then 800k for the two
months before your next extension

I went normal (not panic buying) grocery shopping yesterday, Macro, tops and big C, happy to report that the shelves are full and there is no sign of large crowds or panic buying etc. If anything the number of people out and about doing shopping is probably less than usual.
The photo of Macro above is how Macro always looks, its a bulk food warehouse where people buy in bulk, if anything there are less queues than usual.
A seriously irresponsible report that will only serve to create a panic buying situation where none exists at the moment.
You been here how long, and you still can't spell Makro

A multiple re-entry at least saves using up another half page of your passport with a bunch of single re-entries.

Check your return ticket as Qatar has placed a ban on Thailand among other countries of entering....do not know how transit works at present. Would not think the UAE would be far behind in denial of entry.
You are Ok if you are in transit thru Doha with Qatar.
Qatar Airways
Entry restrictions
Under the direction of government authorities of the State of Qatar, entry restrictions apply if you are travelling from a number of countries with an end destination of Qatar, but they do not impact transiting passengers. -

Judging by the shadows on the hands of the clock I would say it is
about 11.05am.....hope that clarifies matters.

Call the BKK automated call center 1333, press 2 for English and follow thru
to incoming fund transfer from abroad and press for fund transfer of today,
it will tell you how much was received in Swiss Francs, the exchange rate and
the funds in Thai baht. You will need your bank details to hand.
The rates have been quite volatile in the last couple of days, so the timing of
your transfer might not match what was on the bank's exchange rates when
you checked.
