Thai people wear mask a lot.

Because of the very bad air pollution ?

the woman in Starbucks said the whole thing was cancelled.

Pretty sure the whole thing was a joke  from the beginning.

The queue giving guy threw my passport at me but I really don't think that was masked related.

Seemed pretty normal last week. 

Except most of the I/O's where wearing face masks

Never tried to present the right paperwork? 

Yes I try to present the right paperwork every time...the trouble (and whole point) is you dont know exactly what is the correct paperwork (this year) untill she has gone through meticulously checking what you presented...I read this forum and take note of other people's experiences which helps a lot anticipating...but every time there is "something"

LOL. You need to get over that though. Most Thais, including officials, are perfectly OK with farang. Anutin is an idiot but that's one person. Ignore him.

He's at it again

Is there any way of negating the need for set top boxes?

Yes but  it would be complicated/costly to setup, like they use in Hotels

https://www.hibox.tv/blog/hotel-tv-headend-faq.shtml

set top box for each TV is by far the cheapest and easiest solution.

Replace with real granite would be the best option.

Yes real granite is quite cheap in Thailand  compared to the rip off prices in the UK.
