But how would anyone knows if you have another set of keys outside the envelope?

I've seen this in some European countries where the lock is standardized the tenant bring their own key/lock barrel and swap it with the landlord's and change it back once they move out, no need to change the whole hardware like the doorknob, only the key barrel

If you've ever rented in the UK, the endless application forms filling for credit check and reference person (from work) is required, and yes they want to see your income that you can afford to rent the place, absolute invasion of privacy there

I don't know if where you're from have the practice where tenants change all the locks in the place they are renting, but here, landlords or the agents or even the condo hold the spare keys

how is this different to them having the key?

There are time and place for condo staff, at my condo we have Christmas/New Years party for the staff and residents bring in gift in boxes for the raffles, At Chinese New Year, you can give envelope full of money like 500-1000 baht too If I go to the airport and they help with the luggage into taxi, of course Most residents just bring the security guards of cleaners foods when they come in after shopping, I order them pizzas or KFCs during Songkran or New Year when their usual food vendor aren't around,

Kbank require connection over sim card with the same number you registered with as to have the packet header they see match your number they have on file, so you can't connect using wifi or use the app on any other phone, I think afterwards you can toggle it to be able to connects over wifi

If you want to be isolated in a quiet town, there are plenty of smaller town south of Prachuab all the way to Chumporn like Baan Krud or Thap Sakae and Bang Saphan that to an expat functionally similar: no night life, small community of expat, but without the busy streets of the capital town with government canters and businesses, and they all have better beaches

even in Pattaya the wife beater crowds knows to put one on before entering malls,

if you remotely look like a tourist, getting taxi from the bus terminal to the BTS is going to be a rip-off

We should start hiring out 600 and 1000cc proper bikes and these middle eastern goons problem will solve itself in no time, I remember 10-20 years ago where there's weekly Farang wrapped around poles from 'big bike' rentals

As far as the bank is concerned, it's not 'own account' you are transferring overseas to another bank, the bank would consider this 'others account' even if you have accounts from multiple bank, transferring between them is done under 'other accounts' in most banking apps, if there are options for you to select as 'own accounts' it would be in error if you're transferring to another bank or country even

How are Thai citizen barred from transferring money overseas?

If your insurer has provided you one but it was lost in the post just buy another one, at 600 baht a year it's hardly the end of the world if you've lost yours to be reissued one, the insurer might ask that you make a police report that it was lost, another trip to police and DLT, how much is that in wasted time
