arriving to thailand on the weekend
Correct. My Immigration office (Rayong) doesn't appear to require a new TM30 when returning from overseas. -

Credit card fees
For those of us from the U.S. this statement is incorrect/misleading. Using an ATM card here yields the daily Visa (or MC) exchange rate, and my bank refunds the 220 baht ATM fee, usually within three working days. Using a credit card here also yields the daily Visa (or MC exchange rate), and my three Visa cards all offer ZERO foreign transaction fees - always stipulating that the charge be rung up in THB. https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html be sure to change the fee from the default 2% back to 0% https://www.nerdwallet.com/best/credit-cards/no-foreign-transaction-fee Two of my cards have no annual fee. One card is $95 per year, which yields cash benefits exceeding $95. -

Masks - Why still now?
The irony is that long term mask wearing is more likely to lead to lung infections as you've pointed out, causing a hospital stay, which many Thais mistakenly believe they're avoiding by wearing a mask. The other disturbing thing is the still common Thai practice of masking young children. I was just in Mae Sot and saw a little Thai kid getting ready for Songkran. He must have been just 2 or 3 but his father made him wear a mask, which was dangling on a cord around his neck. Not a single Burmese child I saw anywhere in the area was wearing a mask. Not even 2 years ago on my first post Covid trip did I see any Burmese children wear masks in greater Mae Sot, but some of the Thai kids sure were. It's really fascinating how different Thai and Burmese culture is, despite being separated just by an invisible border. Thais are much more paranoid and obedient to authority, the Burmese just get on with life. -

How does that explain Thais wearing masks in areas where there are no 'farangs' and why is mask wearing common throughout Asia?- 2
