Ya think so???

That's entirely dependent on your individual bank and its policies, so other people's experiences won't tell you what might happen in your particular case. If your card has no foreign transaction fees, there shouldn't be any additional charge.

Your case isn't unusual at all - many people have done exactly what you're planning to do, and there is no requirement for you to get the visa at an embassy instead of at BoI. That shouldn't be an issue. They will likely give the final approval within a couple of days after you upload the information, and the appointment schedule is usually wide open. Don't overthink this, and don't bother trying to upload your passport pages until you're actually here - they want to see your entry stamp into Thailand.

Those were the only mass market Thai beers that I ever liked, so naturally they disappeared after a very short time 😞

No, it doesn't. They made exactly the same complaint before the visa exemption policies were changed, so clearly someone who wants to be an illegal guide can do so just fine on a 30 day stay. Hundreds of billions? Seriously? Pull the other one, Paisarn! Sounds like the Russian was doing just what Paisarn suggested was "feasible"...

The transit lines themselves don't charge anything extra, but the card-issuing bank abroad might have foreign transaction fees.

You can use any Visa or Master Card. This works on the Blue, Purple, Yellow, Pink, and Red lines, but unfortunately not on the Green (BTS) lines or the ARL.

Since when do they have any interest in violations of traffic laws?

Indeed, which is why I'm baffled when they talk about turning it into an international airport - what was it when it had flights to Malaysia, if not international?

The fact that anti-coup legislation is even remotely controversial tells you a lot about Thailand, and none of it good.

And actually US immigration at most ports of entry stopped routinely stamping passports for visitors a couple of years ago, though those people still have to see an officer.

A distribution network that only sells to teenagers. Uh huh. They cleverly disguised their vape-selling operations as sidewalk tables openly selling vapes. Fiendish!

Yes, because civilian overreach has been the real issue behind Thailand's political instability 🙄 What on earth does this paragraph mean? 🤔

Talkatone lets you call US landlines and cell numbers for free, and will give you a virtual number that you can maintain as long as you use it once in a while.

Clearly AI, and they should set the software to tone down the overuse of "clever" and "cute" modifiers. If this was a drug raid, so be it, but otherwise these were consenting adults whose activities and proclivities are irrelevant and almost certainly legal, even in Thailand.
