Bangkok's Green Bridge Revamp Approved
LOL...missed the 2023 deadline, but 1Q2026 does look achievable based on my last visit to Benjakatti Park earlier last month.

Transfer from Krungthai Bank.
It's possible when using your Krungthai debit card as the source to transfer funds into Wise. However, the fees involved are high and therefore I would only use this method for one-off urgent matters. Otherwise, it's perhaps easier to just send it directly as a SWIFT transfer from your Krungthai mobile app to the UK account.

Working remotely with Marriage Visa
You could glide under the radar in the manner proposed. I'm aware of others that are here on annual Non O marriage extensions; maintain a Thai bank account, have overseas employer pay salary into Wise account; mostly working from home with occasional use of workspace facilities in central Bangkok; and overall not attracting unnecessary attention.

The drive home from Isaan
I was hoping that the opening of all 6 lanes on the M6 in a one-way direction from Korat to Bang Pa-in would make a noticeable improvement to the return trip this time.

Is there anywhere (paid) to park my car while on a trip abroad?
Check with Jason at Good Vibes Garage, as he provides such a service:

Urgent notice received from Wise Ltd
At the top of the email should be your confidential 'Communication Code'. If not, then it's very likely spam.

Bangkok Bank mobile banking transfer limits
You can amend your Daily Limit online using the BBL App. Click the settings icon in the upper right corner (for iPhone), then scroll down the Transfer and Payment section and click Daily Limits. Then using the drop-down menu you can adjust your limit to 200,000 baht. Limits above this would require a branch visit.

Exact docs for marriage visa 1 year extension in Bangkok
I don't think this item is mandatory as I did my annual marriage Non O renewal last week at CW, and it was not requested.

Thai Brokerage that will open account for Foreigner without WP
I opened an account with Krungthai X Spring Securities ('KTX') last year with a Non-O marriage extension. My designated account manager at KTX is fluent in English and they send me daily stock research reports in English also. Their apps are quite straightforward to use as well.

Introvert or extrovert
Being level 1 on the spectrum is the barrier that prevents morphing into an extrovert.

When She Called Me… A Pattaya Love Story Gone Wonky
A shorter version, thanks to Grok AI: "Yesterday, a guy was chilling on a Pattaya beach, smoking a spliff and enjoying the sunset, when an older, confident woman approached him. She claimed he’d been a gentleman to her one night at a food court, though he couldn’t remember. She invited him to her Cozy Beach condo for dinner as a thank-you. There, she cooked a spicy green curry, they shared beers, and things escalated to a passionate night. The next morning, as he was leaving, she gave him her number and LINE ID, calling him “Bob” and saying it was her best night in a while. Amused, he realized she mistook him for someone else but decided to let her keep the happy memory. He left, embracing the mix-up, feeling like a hero in her story, as Thailand’s chaotic charm worked its magic."
