Don't worry, whatever they come up with won't make any sense....

I agree with you. For my retirement visa application they asked for:

- Certified original criminal record extract from the applicant's current country of residence, valid for a maximum of 3 months (Which makes sense)

 

- Original medical certificate from the country in which the application is submitted, stating that the applicant must not have any of the diseases listed in Ministerial Decree No. 14 (B.E 2535), such as (1) leprosy, (2) tuberculosis, (3) Elephantiasis, (4) drug addiction and (5) syphilis in the third phase

I assume the worry that they get checked about the connection to agents to0.

[Bringing Alcohol to Thailand -- Tax Amount?]

Once I tried to pay duty on a second bottle of whisky. I was shooed away by the customs officers.
After that, I often brought several liters of schnapps over the permitted amount. Nobody was interested although my suitcases were scanned at the exit.
