Thailand and Cambodia Agree on 13-Point Ceasefire

Retirement Visa early renewal . (Pattaya Immigration)
You could just leave and let the visa expire. Then come back visa exempt and start the non-o process over again. Which will also move your extension date to a later time that may work better with your schedule.

Unable to order online medicines anymore.
I have a nephew that owns around 12 pharmacies. He had told awhile ago that it was not legal to sell medications online. Even ones for pets. I used to get a heart medication for one of my dogs on Lazada. But could no find it there. That is when he told me it was illegal to sell on line and the government had actually started to enforce it. That was a couple of years ago.

In Thailand: What are your plans when Nuclear War happens?
Back around 1976 when I was in the Air Force we had a breifing about nuclear war. They stated if there was a full out nuclear war no would be living on the surface of the planet for about 200 years. Any way if countries start launching their ICBMs you will only have about 30 minutes to do anything. That's assuming you know about it right when it starts. We're all going to die sometime. The world will cease to exist at some point. There is no use worrying about it.

For Americans with Social Security Questions
Pretty simple to figure out. If you have got the figures from them for retirement at 62 and retirement at full amount age. Take the 62 year figure and multiply it by the total months until full retirement age. Then divide that amount by the full amount figure minus your lower amount to see how many months(years) it would take you to recoup all the money you lost by not taking the earlier amount. In my case I figured there was a good chance I would be dead by the time I made up the difference by waiting for the full amount. Also if you don't need the money now you could invest it in the meantime to make even more money or set it aside as an emergency fund. For example using the ages you provided and say the amount at 69 is $2000/month. That would make the 63 year amount about $1,334. So $1,334 over 6 years you would receive a total of $96,048. Divide that by the difference of what you would receive, $666. Which means it would take you over 12 years to make back the money you would have got by starting earlier. And that does not factor in annual raises to the amount over those years either. Plus the money will be worth less the longer you wait to get it.

It seems that if immigration requires you to have a Thai bank account they should provide an official document stating that you are required to open one.
