The criminal report is required by the school, I guess that might be enforced by education ministry. The conculate will not ask you about it, each has their own requirements. I recommend you not to skip it else the school may not be able to register you. Also they ask the criminal report from Thai police if you are in Thailand since a year and from your home country otherwise.

Being unable to show 3 months of account history would certainly create a problem in the embassy in my home country, I don't know if Savannakhet would be different.

Ok so lets  scale this up for expats..... 60  days  let's  say 1000 baht top price 1  year 360 odd  days divide by 60 = 6 x 1000 =  annual  cover for 6000 baht for expats, ok so you can do it for 60  days so why not a year for 6k?

There is no 60 days of insurance for 1000 baht here. The competitive plan for 2M coverage and 60 days costs 3150 baht (1750 for 1M coverage).

There is however an annual option at 12,000 baht (with border runs required every 60 days) which is 1000 per month still available up to 70 years old. That looks too good to be true and I suspect there is a horrible range of exceptions and restrictions.

Unfortunately the site creators didn't bother to show us insurance details and exceptions. e.g. how about having a motorcycle accident?

Write a letter yourself clearly explaining your conditions and how you earn your money. That was exactly what I was asked when I told them that I was not employed by a company in a Thai embassy at home country. It worked in my case.
