And yet Pattaya authorities keep planning these weekend festival events, thatfar from attracting foreign tourists (which I believe is what they want), we get gangs of local kids looking to settle their differences. This surely will deter the very families they want to see visiting.
Why don't they build an aircraft hanger sized building somewhere secluded, call it Gangsters R Us and leave em to it.
They could all tear each other to pieces where no one gives a ****

Indeed
Must take one hell of an unenlightened mindset that makes it a roll of the dice as to what your customers can actually access to purchase. (Notwithstanding whether or not it is in/or out of stock in the first place due to managerial ineptitude).

I've typed it verbatim in the post immediately prior to yours
True but printing that would have no credibility waved under the nose of a Branch Manager

I've been told by my bank, ttb, that foreigners not included. However, after reading in AN of how many foreigners/farangs have had their photos taken and the differing opinions by bank employees of the same bank but different branches, I emailed Bank of Thailand seeking clarification as to whether we have to or not.
I received written confirmation yesterday from BOT that foreigners ARE included. I then requested BOT to communicate clearly to all banks that foreigners ARE included so as to remove the mass confusion across the banks and their branches.
I will be going to my bank again next week and if they still tell me foreigners are not included I will show the branch manager, who speaks perfect english, the email from BOT so she can instruct her staff that foreigners are included.
With regards to the transfers already done, I'm not surprised you had no issues, as this does not officially come into effect until Saturday July 1st, even though some banks are already applying it.
Would you consider posting a printable (anonymised) jpg of the letter?
It would alleviate/truncate many peoples dealing with these inepts.

As for SCB I tried to accomplish this at their main Pattaya branch a while back and posted my experiences (elsewhere)
copy/paste:
Well I took the bull by the horns and went to my SCB branch (Pattaya main branch 2nd Road). "oh foreigner next month" yadda yadda, after circuitous talk I ascertained that we were on the same page with what was being discussed. Head cashier intervened then called head office and eventually passed the phone to me. The suited somnambulant explained the corporate position - basically the good ole 'mai mee/mai roo/mai khow jai' inept's lament that is a long standing Thai national trait/institution.
They basically have no solution for falang account holders as their systems are tied to the National Digital ID I mentioned in an earlier post above and must use the tablet with the integral card port (for national ID card). They haven't as yet any solution and don't know when or if they will! I did suggest they seek help from Bangkok bank as they don't suffer the same inabilities.
Anyhow I did earn myself a nice bright new apology for my inconvenience (which I'll throw on the great metaphorical pile of them I've accumulated - one day I'll find out how you can cash the <deleted> things).

The simple retort for prospective buyers to use is
"but they don't work - they aren't lucky"
"how do you know that?"
" well you've got all these trays full of them...............
......& you're getting no money off me"
Joking aside, its not anything new. Way before covid in the crest of the flag following wave of Chinese tours they were being bussed into a Wat local to me. First to Wai an outside effigy and then into the main temple hall were a great "U" of tables awaited with Chinese sellers of amulets salivating in anticipation. I had a quick perusal myself (between busses) and whilst no expert I know enough after all these years on the ground here to know rampant scamster pricing when its on show.

"I've been entering Thailand this way for over 10 years"
The OP is NOT a tourist..
In future could consider ME non O retirement from Savannakhet or obtain non O and subsequent extension also multi reentry permit
Not a tourist...how so?
A serial tourist granted, but anything other than the myopic view of a tourist = 1 x 2weeks x year still fits the description.
When do you cease being a tourist?
I know many folks within Europe who (sl)EasyJet to other countries each weekend - does 52 trips a year make them something other than the tourist they are?

This was the precise scenario that the Multi-entry Tourist Visa was concocted for. (As opposed to facilitating Multi-Entry Tourists).
Even so, as things stand you do no wrong.
Cant help but see the parallels to a similar experience with a immigration harridan when I attempted entry on a visa exempt for the second time (both after Covid reopening - but the last prior exempt was over twenty years ago). 6 a year or two in two decades who knows what trips their weird hormones.
Do what I did - ignore the "next time you will get a visa" bitching and carry on regardless . Subsequent two trips exempt stamps done with a smile by obliging 'XY' chromosome versions.

Much to learn grasshopper
"mai phet - mai aroy" is a well known Thai idiom meaning if its not phet its not aroy. Not only will you get the correct full measure of spice/hotness but also the kudos of knowing the phrase
