There is no taxi mafia in Bangkok and fares are on the meter unless you agree otherwise - and among the lowest in the world. Although stationary taxi still refuse fares at times most taxi are passing and will accept anyone using meter - just wait for the next if not. Or maybe the bus/rail systems could be used?

Or not - have seen a lot of hot mothers in my time on earth.

Likely making her feel useful as she already there. Or getting her phone number? 😏

They will likely be able to identify it however and have original paperwork - expect many people have no paperwork (rat attack).

Expect they would want to know the quality before melting and if there is a makers stamp on it they might be able to find out - would expect wife to know where she had it made as Thai normally do not forget anything gold. They would likely be the best place to sell back as they would know the quality and their work.

Expect she might find a buyer in Bangkok/Pattaya or other tourist where buyer could reasonable expect to be able to sell less the pure gold. Amount Thai there is normally no market for anything but 22k - but believe some jewelry stores will handle and larger facility might be able to refashion. But it is not cash in hand as 22k is.

Which often makes good relationships more important than paperwork and worth the effort to keep in good order.

Gold shops normally sign so other shops know who sold it - did new shop even mention this (or was she selling elsewhere)? Normally gold shops are reliable with "pure" gold which is about 22 carat - so even what most of us consider real good gold at 18 carat would not be real to a gold shop.

Not from post - he has kept control so nothing tangible at this point - but perhaps on his passing? Maybe best to lie low?

Somewhat confused - you provide no support in a marriage where you mention millions. Do not believe many wives of rich foreigners would be thrilled with 5k a month - am sure she has requests for that amount from friends and family almost daily. Is this really 50% share of marriage?

Very good news. Yes.

If you did as you said you have no case to plead - you must keep 800k in bank for 3 months after doing extension of stay - they are very strict on that and you have not done that if only 60 days as you say.

Well it certainly has been for me for the several decades I have been doing retirement extensions of stay (not visa) in Bangkok - hand drawn outline listing main streets used to be requirement but they are happy with Google print outs these days. But have no idea what you are saying about wife being with you as that is not required or expected.

You will find high ball priced items on many platforms - often the same seller using many names - as they hope to fill the search page with only their 10x normal price items and get a person to not check further - if using Lazada I always go to side or bottom of page after selecting an item as then you will find many more choices at various prices.

Actually after this great song in 57' suspect many of us liked little bitty pretty ones

And when you turn on pump you may be drawing dirty water from their laundry pan or any supply pipe fault into the system for everyone to share.

They are known for doing it their way - there should not be any need for a new TM30 unless you move AFAIK - as stated below.

Have once done once here for CW and provide same copy of copy of receipt each year for extension of stay.

Any chance of a fiber line? It has a monthly cost but no restrictions on normal use and you could set up wifi for phone usage. Expect Condo may only connect to one provider from what have read however.

It is unlikely to work. I do not have but did order and ran into total mess trying to register here in Bangkok with result had to visit their hqs office to register or forget it - wrote off as bad dream.

If that is the NT data only (no phone calls) card believe there is limitation on building height of 5th floor or below.

We bought a Samsung 17.8 cf two door unit a few months ago and it is very quiet and price is very good. The downside its doors have no handle so you have to grab in an opening a bit back from opening edge losing leverage. Very hard to open when hands full. You will not open if in a vacuum cycle and even normal opening not comfortable. But if you can live with that seems to work well (and can be converted to all refrigerator if you do not require a freezer). Samsung should be best if need parts or service. They sell a lot. And expect they are made for Thailand temps (know they used to have 3 models depending on how hot) - low volume imports might not be as reliable.

Or become blind looking at it.
