his passport should have been machine read and recognised in Edinburgh when departing, but this is not the case at stop over destinations when changing planes where in most cases the boarding pass name is simply verified against the passport name.

Option 1: travel to Greece and bring it yourself. Pack it in bags rather than boxes to reduce the likelyhood of being inspected. Option 2: if you live here and have never relocated your household you can do this now and probably do not pay any customs duties. Make sure all items are properly listed, for example 1 computer rather than 2 hard drives, as you are allowed to relocate one item each kind without duty. Option 3: have it sent item by item and declare each item's value below 30 USD.

It's possible and many people do it, but it can only be registered on the land title deed for 30 years. You need a side contract for longer periods which could possibly be debated in court. Setting up a company with the sole purpose of buying land is illegal.

Wrong, you can add ownership of the house on the back of the land title deed. You should also nominate it's value which implies taxes on total value of house and land.

For partial usage of your house, car, etc. make a rental agreement between you and the company. For items purchased privately sell them to the company after purchase. You cannot claim VAT, but then most sellers on Lazada and the like will not issue a "tax invoice/receipt" for the sale unless you pay 7% on top which means they also do not pay VAT.

Not annoying, it's a security feature, because many WIFIs in this country are not secure.

I have 2 remarks for your situation: 1. I suggest you get a reentry permit at the same time you get your extension of stay. In HH for example you can get it during renewing the extension without the need to queue a second time. 2. You most likely will need to deposit 800k with a transfer from abroad, even though you already have 800k+ in your account. Every new extension based on retirement requires this (e.g. not a repeated extension). Is enforced in HH, don't know other IOs. Unless you work with an agent and pay him/her for avoiding the money deposit.

You apply for a 90 day non-o in the US, then when back in Thailand apply for extension based on marriage (earliest 45 days before expiryof the visa). You need the documents, bank letter and statement, photos from you and wife taken at your home, and a witness (neighbour). During the one month "under consideration" period the immigration officer will visit your house. All of this can only be done when in Thailand. Also note there is no marriage visa, only an extension of stay based on marriage.

If you have a valid extension of stay with reentry permit in your old passport: 1. Bring your expired (old) passport and show both to the immigration officer in the airport 2. visit your local immigration office to transfer your extension of stay from old to new passport 3. You will have entered the country on your extension, not visa exempt If you do not have a valid extension of stay and enter on visa exempt no need to bring and show the old passport. In both cases you must update your valid passport number with your airline, either online or at checkin.

You do not need to leave the country, just go to immigration and apply for new extension of stay based on retirement. The 800k must have been transferred from abroad, can be several years ago or just now, but if recently it must have been in your bank account for 2 months. If you have not done that in the past do it now and request a 60 day temporary extension from immigration. The clock starts on the day the money arrives in your bank account from abroad, how much was in your account before does not matter. This process works in Hua Hin (I did just that several years ago), but you might want to check the procedure with your immigration office.

It's a kingdom wether the world likes it or not

Some people wear masks to protect themselves, but many and particularly service personnel in shops, food courts, Macro etc. wear them to show respect to others or their customers. Such consideration is unknown in Western countries, so don't blame the Thais for wearing masks, please.
