Why does this seem to be such a big problem for some on here. Surely one is at least going to spend that amount of money while in Thailand...just stuff it in your pocket and be on your way.
  Really, talk about making mountains out of molehills?

1) 3bb, and I assume others, require foreigners pay 1 year up front, after which it is monthly. Whether or not you get the modem for free depends if there is a deal. But it's pretty cheap, and makes debugging issues later easier.

2) i think 3bb has some TV over IP, but the choice is so small 3bb reps tell me not to bother.

3) ToT website is pretty bad. Not sure it's useful to non thais.

You will most likely want 3bb, but check if AIS is available. For English tv, you will want to stream. Or hope your building has something useful.

TV packages in English from true are quite pricey, so you may want to consider what you really need.

There's something about the image of sitting in a stool in foodland, on Christmas day, eating a Christmas dinner, all by yourself, that makes me feel sad.

This is why I do take out.

Not so sure about that... although not a bed, I've had the Owners Remove a Sofa and pay half towards a new one....
 
 
Owners will meet requests if reasonable.... and if the Op is offering a long enough contract an owner might be open to changing out the bed. 
 
OP: Of course you can just go with the assumption madman has made that all owners go-to response is "No Can"... or you can find out for yourself and ask a few places. 
 
 
 

Cosplay Japanese cafe outfits?

Aliexpress, alibaba if buying bulk.

No new condo I've seen except for really pricey ones, have rooms that big.

You will want a large studio, or expensive condo. Most likely at least 48sqm.

That might help your search.

Good luck fitting a cali king bed.

Have you checked Alibaba.com? There are hundreds of shipping companies there. 
Just got a container shipped to Thailand.

Anyone know how it is in Buriram/Pakon Chai area?

Ignoring your questionable life choice decisions:

Obtaining a loan for something that is not tangible, without physical collateral that can be claimed in default is difficult.

To do so while living in another country is more difficult.

To do so with a Thai bank would be very challenging for a non Thai (hard enough to just open an account).

This translates to high interest rate. Are you prepared to pay 10 to 20 (or more)?

Your obvious choices would be:

1) Get a guaranteed loan (parents sign it).

2) Sell something to raise funds

3) Gofundme seems popular these days.

4) Get a credit card in your home country, cash advance, then spend a long time paying back the interest and fees.


And now the jokes:

1) If you handsome man, you can get job on walking street, make money quickly.

2) I know a guy, Knuckles, he can lend you the money. Of course if your late you may loose kneecaps.

Keep in mind, regardless of obtaining the visa, you may have issues upon entry.

Might be simpler to live nearby and only visit Thailand occasionally.

In addition to the main topic - I do not recommend anyone to try to offer a bribe to anyone. In the last few months, I read many reports of how people were denied at the airport so I wanted to share my experience.
 
Why do ThailVisa people hate digital nomad?
You can say that I am a digital nomad. I am legally registered in my country as a contractor and I'm offering my services to another company in B2B form. I don't need to be on-site. I only need a laptop and a good internet connection to do my work. So I travel and work together, not only in Thailand.
I don't do business in any form with Thai people. I'm not stealing their job nor offering.
RAZZELL - As far as I know, is not illegal to be in Thailand as a digital nomad.
Usually, I don't mention my work to avoid additional questions and misunderstandings.
 
But don't understand why do ThailVisa people hate digital nomad?
Digital nomad benefits the Thai economy bringing foreign money, and spent it here. 
Of course, they pay taxes - things you buy from the shop have VAT. If you stay in a hotel, the price also includes VAT. Alcohol has an excise tax. If you rent a motorbike or car and drive on public roads - you pay excise tax buying petrol.
Farangs also pays for Visas and sometimes the 'special' price at tourist attractions or when taking a taxi.
 
Langkawee - I totally agree with you. Thai and western culture has a lot of differences. In Western don't have to deal with saving face concept, social hierarchy (Sakdina), and avoidance of direct confrontation.
 
Maybe one reason why Thailand doesn't want long-stay expats is that they spend less than average. According to Wikipedia "Thanasak expects daily tourist spending to increase to 5,200 baht per person in 2017, up from 5,100 baht in 2016".
So according to this data average expat who stays on a retirement visa (The requirement is 65,000 baht per month, around $2000) spent only half the money the average tourist spends. And we also have many backpackers who write blogs on how to stay in CM for $500 a month. And Thai primarily like money...

Time for people to start discreetly recording these events. Would remove all uncertainty.

Then submit to a non Thai news organization after leaving.

Have one for two years, use daily, no problems.

If you are travelling with a Thai national, let them check in while you wait outside, then sneak in later.

60 THB.

One soda as i say hi for a few minuets.

I splurge like this as often as twice per year!

I have booked an appointment at Vientienne for a new tourist visa.
The point is it would be 3rd there this year with 1 from last year.
After reading recent posts here about Immigration clamping down on multiple tourist visas I am wondering
if I should just do a border run to get my last 30 day visa from there and then go back to my home country.
I am on  an OAP from there, but that is it financially. I have an 18 yo Thai son here who is basically dependent on me ,

It would be a big step for me to survive on my OAP, but if needs be so be it.
Just please keep your replies on topic as all assumptions and negatives will be ignored with disdain. 

Big C Pattaya Klang.

It even has a mini Casino Bio section. Literally the same i buy in France. Just more expensive.

The motorists here actually look where they are going?

I've never observed a single Personal Trainer in Thailand who was actually "training" anyone. All they do is stand around, smirk, and chit chat with their lady clients.

They seem to only want short time, no want long time.

Why it matters: Thai Logic.

Perhaps there were some police just wandering around or on general security (watching for left baggage, crowd control, etc)?

And perhaps they noticed these two and thought they looked like a security risk. So questioned them.

Girl Guides 

The visa fee was the only money going to Thai people that Indians and Chinese spend here.

Oh, and 7.

Great, can't sleep until 4am when they finally turn the music off?
