Excuse me but Baguio its a very busy town on a mountain top.
Yes its cool climate barely needs an aircon running.
place is crowded with local tourists from Manila and has several universities.
I agree it has much of the usual congestion found in many PI cities. I didn't find it appealing in terms of things/activities to do.
I admit my statement was prejudiced in as much as I overall didn't care so much for Baguio.
To each his own.

Baguio
Ultra quiet to the extreme but maybe that's what the OP seeks.
I'll say this for sure. It is the one and only outside place anywhere in SEA where I felt just a little bit chilly. The ladies with me were freezing.

I wonder if you're certain about needing a police report for a new USA passport?
I once changed one that was not expired and I didn't need a police report.

Last time I asked why he thought it was so quiet lately, and he puts all the blame on government and a change in tourists. The one I go to very often in Jomtien is suffering too, where a year or two ago it was packed every night, again , super clean , good food and cheap, used by Thai s and foreigners. THe owner keeps asking me why it’s so quiet !!
You don't want to put in a good word for a place that serves you well to insure its future success?

I am still in Portugual trying to get 3 Euros to the Pound
Shouldn't be all that difficult.
Just look for currency traders who are in business to LOSE money. ????

A few years ago when I asked about getting a multiple entry stamp transferred to my new passport, I thought I was told on the forum that the ME stamp wouldn't be transferred even thought it was far from being 12 months old. I had to start from ground zero.
Have things changed?

My understanding is that alcohol and tobacco require an import licence for quantities over the duty free limits.
Alcohol and tobacco are not prohibited goods but they are restricted goods
There is a potential for paying duty on non-commercial restricted goods less than 200k, but does that include alcohol (as it requires a licence)? Left hand path on the flow-chart.
I know things change but on my first trip to Thailand when I smoked I brought 5 cartons of cigarettes for my 3 week trip ( not enough as it turned out) and duly reported it to the customs clerk in the items to declare line.
Not surprisingly, the clerk just smiled and waved me on.
Had it happened today, I may have been asked to fund his retirement.

There would also be a fee for providing the letter and a 12 month statement.
Sometimes I think the Thai banks wrote the book on bank fees. I'm waiting for the day there's an entrance fee to enter the bank.

Impossible to 100% seal a house from cockroach entry. Those crafty buggers can always find a way in. It's especially easy to bring passengers home from a shopping trip.

I have used an agency since retirement arrival in Chiang Mai on an O-A 8 years ago. This year a little rocky as they were not sure what I migration would do as one out of the 12 months required fell below the 65,000 baht. All went through OK for another year’s extension of stay. Just figure the agency deals with immigration every day and thus knows the twists and turns. This year 8000 baht without a re-entry permit (told them I was not going to pay for that should Thailand tell me I am unwanted).
Just remember to get the 1,000 THB stamp if you should decide to leave the country sometime during the next year.

second, many e-commerce web sites, especially U.S. based, require you to delare
in which country you are a tax resident, and will deduct the taxes on your earnings
according to the tax treaty U.S. has with of that country.
Are you a tax resident of Thailand?

It's become a sort of blanket 20,000 baht for all and 40,000 for a family I'm fairly sure.
Would having 20,000 baht upon entry to Thailand also be necessary for a person with a one year extension of stay based on 800K bank deposit retirement?

Also more copies of your passport. Somewhere there is a warehouse with millions of tons of paper.
I've asked on this forum in the past if anyone knows what becomes of the tens of millions of copies immigration and banks have of our personal information. Nobody knows it seems.
I've also asked through the Mrs of banks and the IOs if they know and it's the same blank look.
Where is that warehouse? 555

Which kind of visa did you have or did you plan to enter visa exempt?
You should not have signed the paper.
You could appeal to being denied (should also be stated on the bottom of the paper which you signed), using this form and by paying a fee of 1900 THB: https://www.immigration.go.th/download/1486548054958.pdf
If all you want is to get out of there is quick as possible it might be better to just take the flight
I think that's what the OP is saying. He wants out ASAP.

Sure doubt it could hold a candle to the Robinson's in Angeles when it comes to odor/stink
Now that's a real smell!
I'm very pleased with our local villas. I keep meaning to give the delivery service they have a try.
