If it is just staying at a hotel, get them to register you online. If you are moving so often, why border? Unless you are doing an extension of stay. Even when doing an extension of stay, the IO rarely ask you whether you are still staying in the same place once you have registered an address.

"Power of Attorney" form is nothing new when you are registering on behalf of the house owner. Not to make life harder for you.

If implemented, all "farangs" (including expats, if made to pay) will get medical treatment at hospitals after an accident without the need to pay (up to 500,000THB). The hospital will claim from the government (or insurance consortium). Otherwise, it will be a big scam by the government.

At least, the Chinese didn't hold a gun to the Sri Lankans' head.

Dream on, that 300THB insurance covers you for 30 days only.

China is just copying the colonial West. But at least not with guns.

Don't come to Karon. I live here. You can't afford the prices.

Guys, don't waste your time. OP is just trolling/getting attention.

If you have to count your baht, then Phuket is not the place for you to visit. Should done some research before coming. Better turn around before you have a heart attack from seeing the prices in Phuket.

Why start a thread that will lead to nowhere? "Massage 200 baht up ok" You didn't read that masseurs are protesting as competition are offering 150 baht for a massage? "Massamun curry 170 baht pricey, 30 baht small rice" There are many places offering the massamun curry at 120 baht, 20 baht small rice. There are also places where you can have massaman curry for more than 200 baht. "The mini bus from airport is a sham. Have to wait for 10 people. Easier to share a cab 800 baht patong". There is a scheduled aircon bus from the airport to go to Patong that does not have to wait for 10 people. If you have to take a bus, then sharing a cab is too expensive for you. Furthermore, you have to search for people to share a cab with. Must be a slow day.

For mass market tourism from China/India, 14 days is more than enough.
