Buying Gold.
They're just using a lower spread between buying and selling prices hoping to make up with volume what they lose out on on individual trades. Same as some currency exchanges offer a better deal than others. As long as you do you make sure you're buying what you think there's no reason not to touch them.

Serious political persecution
Seems he was offered another UK bank account for when his Coutts Bank one is closed, so doubtful he'll have to move overseas. https://aseannow.com/topic/1299745-nigel-farage-bank-account-shut-for-falling-below-wealth-limit/

Weird practises at Thai banks
Just last week I went in to BBL to cancel a direct debit. They pulled out the paperwork used to set it up around 3 years ago in just a few minutes.

Thai will for foreigner
Bur you just wrote that your will was done by a lawyer and was incorrectly done, so maybe not foolproof advice?

Using old passport
Presenting the old passport at check in when he leaves means it will get flagged up as invalid by his home country when they receive the API from the airline, potentially resulting in denied boarding. I'm not sure what the airline would think if presented new and old, but perhaps a supervisor could "fix" the system.

Je t'adore. But his Spanish and Italian follow the same pattern.

(Another) portable hotspot and annual SIM information request
Just to have a laugh and tell me I should have spent a few hundred baht more for a brand named one? ???? OK, here goes: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i4250982040-s16824617902.html

Check in at International or Domestic terminal at CNX?
I'm pretty sure all the Thai Airways marketed flights from CNX are operated by Thai Smile, so you'll be looking for their check-in desks. As of last week, when you got to the desk shown on the screens, those with domestic destinations were being re-directed to another totally different desk group. I followed that route so cannot answer with certainty about immigration.

(Another) portable hotspot and annual SIM information request
I've ordered the GoMo SIM recommended above from AIS and a "no-name" router from Lazada. Hopefully here by the middle of the week and I'll try them out.

(Another) portable hotspot and annual SIM information request
A mate just sent me this. Plenty data by the look of it and speeds "are not capped". A bit more expensive than those on Lazada. Is it worth pursuing?

(Another) portable hotspot and annual SIM information request
Indeed, in my defense I was only looking at the main packages, not the top ups! Per the OP, I still have to decide on a router as part of my move to a new system so not looked at individual specs yet. From my brief perusal, the routers I have seen are mainly 4G, not 5G (I've only looked at a couple so far). From my described usage would the slower speeds affect me adversely

(Another) portable hotspot and annual SIM information request
The channel thing as mentioned and therefore the need to pair it up with a specific spec of router to get the best use, and I don't think it is an AIS product which is my first choice for SIM. I can see the website in English, but don't see the deal you mention. Can you point me in the right direction, and also explain the reference to having a Thai partner?

(Another) portable hotspot and annual SIM information request
I hope I've got the terminology correct and I've read a fair bit in here about them, but by no means confident about what I should be looking for. I'm moving location shortly and it apppears this will be the most efficient method of connecting my laptop and TV stick to the internet in my new digs. The new place has a good signal on the AIS SIM in my phone, so I'm tempted to go straight to AIS rather than experiment with other suppliers. Good idea or not? If anyone keeps an eye on Lazada or wherever, can you tell me the current goto SIM package considering I'm a low volume (I think) user? Laptop browsing several hours a day (occcasional youtube vid), TV usually on for a similar amount of time with occasional sport watching, no torrents. Finally, any recommendations on the portable hotspot required? Maybe more important, anything to really avoid? I've read about issues with the Thunder SIM and it's unique hotspot requirements and although I don't think they'll affect me, is there anything similar waiting to catch me out? Thanks all.
