my late husband was on insulin, mot cheap if use the pen cartridge as he's was imported from France

it would need to be passport number, many western insurance brokers here to help you. First maybe come with a travel insurance for 1 or 2 months, then gives you time to change and set up suitable policy for a Thai health insurance. Be careful on max per night for hospital, many thai policies only pay to 3000 baht, enough for government private room or upcountry hospital but should you be staying in a tourist area and require private hospital which all have private rooms and english speaking staff you need 6000 a night cover

I'd disagree, with NO medical issues that's an average cost

Hotels register for you, they ask for passport at reception

Vaccinations are not necessary but advice you get Titus updated

Your ticket will be for 4 months and exempt visa issued for 60 days.

You may have a problem boarding your flight as the airline is responsible for length of stay, they randomly check passengers.

I would advise you to buy

1) a ticket through 'onwards flight' I believe $15

2) a cheap flight to Cambodia or Malaysia which if you don't use can bin

3) an expensive ticket for neighbouring country which you cancel on arrival and get refund

So can come for 60 day exemption visa, buy 30 days more at immigration. Then take a break to neighbouring country or do border run, on return have another 60 days

Pattaya rentals near the beach are now mostly full til Jan

If you can handle been away from beach and party area, about 3 to 5kms then can find room under 10,000 a montb

Anonymous participant very surprised as living here yet not speaking Thai I have arranged dozens of viewing in Chonburi from agents adverts in Facebook Marketplace.

Never had any problems, yes sometimes a condo has already been taken but I reply what my budget is and if tget have anything in that price bracket they come back to me. Secure 2 apartments for friends last week.

Regarding thai bank account this can be opened using an agency and getting a resident certificate from immigration once you have filed a TM 30
