You left them behind !!!
I've known several people whose move to Thailand happened after their home country wives had died. I'm pretty sure none of them would have appreciated your unnecessary intrusion into their lives.

Truemove prepaid internet vs data plan
There seems little consistency in the packages they offer, but all appear to be 4G/5G and whether described as "data" or "internet" seems to make no difference, at least none that I can detect. I'm currently on the 99GB/30 days package., THB299+VAT. It was bought as "Internet" but shows on the app as "Data". Currently showing 19.7 Mbps download speed (4G) which is totally fine for may needs.

Extension based on Retirement
The admitted until date doesn't change, stay out as long as you like but remember to come back in time to make the next extension or you'll have to start all over again.

TM 30
Let's say you check into a hotel for a night/week or whatever. Did any hotel ever give you a TM30 receipt? Whilst they might give you something if you ask for it, it is by no means automatic, which you would imagine it would be if you were legally obliged to have it.

In my recent experience, December 2023, Bangkok, No.

ATM card confiscation and possible alternatives?
That's the whole point of a Wise account, including it's debit card.

ATM card confiscation and possible alternatives?
USA it most certainly does. And can send to Thailand no problems at all. https://wise.com/us/send-money/

ATM card confiscation and possible alternatives?
For what purpose? Just put money in it (Wise from US would seem a good idea). What does it matter that you cant pay credit cards from it, I thought your problem was getting money here not sending it to the US.

Biz class flights to UK
They don't have first class. Business is called "Royal Laurel Class" and whilst it is good it is not first class.

Biz class flights to UK
I just did a 2 week hop back to blighty. EK was as ever great on the way there, I had my favourite window seat at the back, the aisle seats take 30% off my enjoyment of those flights for sure. Chauffeur drive seems to have been downgraded somewhat on arrival (it was perfect in BKK). Was a junk VW of some sort at LGW, I thought I had got into a taxi by mistake. Came back EVA, really enjoyed it, apart from LHR T2 but can't blame them for that. Service was exceptional and the first direct flight I've taken in a while made a pleasant change.

Flying from BKK to Zurich - spare baggage allowance
Interesting. I don't think I have ever checked in more than 50% of my baggage allowance, normally far less. Never thought of it as a missed opportunity, I guess that's why I'm not rich.

Return Ticket Within 30 Days Visa Exempt?
There is an outside chance it might be a problem at check-in in Vietnam if the airline staff are really awake. It is highly unlikely to be a problem at immigration as they rarely ask for onward flight details. But they can of course, like they can also ask to see 20,000 baht cash and details of accommodation, but usually don't. And no, you can't pay overstay in advance - chances are telling them your plans to convert and extend would get you over the line.

March 18 is day 1. Day 30 (when you would have to leave) is April 16.

Recent Physical at BPH
It wasn't me touting but yes, I was indirectly making the same point as you. Would be far better for others to compare at least similar things when trying to prove someone has paid too much.
-
Recent Physical at BPH
Absolutely. Having done the same both before and after bypass surgery I was happy to see that being sawn open did actually achieve something!

Then you choose a different package. Also, if you want the EST as the OP did.

Air Asia vs Nok-Bkk to Chiang Mai
No. But one of them at least has a hideous owner.

Wonder where they were both headed to? Wouldn't it be a super-coincidence if it was the same town.
