With specific regard to the one-year MENO (Thai family) visa at Savanakhet: what's the most up-to-date and confirmed information regarding the proof of 400,000 baht.
Can it be in an overseas (non-Thai) bank account?
Or does it have to be in a Thai bank account ONLY?
I believe it must be a Thai bank account, and the funds must have been in your account for at least 3 days.

My country and the Thai government signed a bilateral agreement to waive visa requirements.

I took a bus from Bangkok to Mukdahan in the evening and arrived the next day. The bus costs 620 baht per way. Then I took the first International Bus to the Savannakhet Bus Station, which cost 50 baht. At Laos immigration, I must pay a tourist tax of 100 baht to the immigration officer and a Ministry of Finance entrance fee of 20 baht. Check in to the hotel and pay 500 baht per night, including breakfast.
Then I walked to the Royal Thai General Consulate and waited for the office to open at 9am.
The documents required for the Non-Immigrant O (Dependent Visa) are as follows:
- Fill up the application form
- 2 Passport Photos
- Original passport
- Copy of the front and last pages of passport
- Original Marriage Certificate (show only)
- Copy of your marriage certificate (both signed).
- A copy of your spouse's Thai ID (signed by the spouse)
- A copy of your spouse's house registration book (signed by spouse)
- Update your bankbook and show the original bank book (400,000 baht inside for the last week).
- Copy of all your bankbook pages
When I submitted the documents to the consulate, they never asked any questions and simply handed me a small piece of paper for collection. My visa fee is zero baht.
The next day, around 2pm, I go get the passport. I took a tuk-tuk to the Laos border immigration and paid 50 baht. Smoothly cross the border without paying anything. Pay 55 baht for the bus ticket. Before going to Thai immigration, you must fill out an arrival card.
That is my journey. -

This is not true for most land borders.
Some Cambodian border crossings use it as an excuse to get a bribe (on khmer side) and recently a Malaysian border crossing started to try it on sometimes (on thai side). It is not a genuine requirement and you will normally have zero problems returning same day (or even same hour).
Yes, you are require to stay one night at another country, unless you aren't using the agency service.

Copy of Laos visa, is that new....?
Yes, it is new. Better to get it photocopy before you submit your application. Otherwise, you need to run out to get it copy and you miss your Queue.

Make sure you check whether got public holiday in Laos and Thailand.
Prepare 5,000 baht for one year multiple entry. I'm exempted from the visa fee due to both countries got agreement.
Remember that you are require to exit from Thailand every 90 days. If land border crossings, you need to stay another country for 1 night, make sure you check whether you need visa to enter the neighbour country. If you are flying out, you can return the same day.
Many foreigners didn't follow the procedures, end up they got tourist visa for 2 months and single entry visa.

Never forget all the electricity generate from the natural gas. Russia stop exporting gas, and they are the biggest gas supplier. So prepare for the electricity to increase double.
Almost everything we use gas ... cooking, transportation and etc.

I received notice that the AstraZeneca vaccines will be out of stock by 20 July 2021 and waiting for the new stock to arrive. Pfizer arrived, but US Government give a specific condition ... Give to the medical staffs first. However, the government ignored the condition, and give it to the VIP first.
Sinovac isn't recommended to take it, but you can consider Sinopharm that is better than AstraZeneca.

I live in the Rangsit Pathumthani Thani area and I have been trying for awhile to register.
As I am 70 and have a Abdominal Aortic Anyurisium, but it is an impossible task as I can not find anything about registration for the vaccine. Everything seems to be to do with those in and around Bangkok.
I tried the link mentioned in this but I have been unable to register again. The lack of information about registration for those who live elsewhere in the country is diabolical. My wife and step daughter can't even find out any information as to where I can register. If I could get on a plane and go I seriously think I would.
I already registered Mor Thom in the hospital for AZ on 29 July, as well Municipality for Sinopharm (still waiting). Done in Pathum Thani.

He just need to move to any university hospital in Bangkok, and his treatment will be the same price with Thai. My English friend went back for treatment, and he left us because UK waiting is so long.

Recommend that you should go with spouse or friend when you take vaccination. As well, take 1 or 2 pills of paracetamol after vaccination to reduce the fever.

Last Wednesday, I am able to register with Mor Phom and my schedule for vaccination will be on 29 July 2021 for AZ. However, my wife's office will receive Sinopharm on 20 June, possible I will go for this, instead AZ.

Yesterday, I got my confirmation for vaccination in July 2021 through Mor Phom using my Pink ID.
My wife’s office offers Sinopharm starting 20 June, and thinking to take it and forget about Mor Phom. Whichever come first, I take first.
-
Finally, the Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine will give it free from the Provincial Administration Organisation starting 20 June 2021 (hopefully on time) to the public.
Sinopharm is much more better than AstraZeneca and Sinovac.Pfizer and Moderna is a little better than Sinopharm.
-
Another watery mouth! AstraZeneca is totally out of stock, only Sinovac available. Next month, the vaccination is open to all 60s and 7 diseases starting 7 June 2021, only Sinovac available.
Where is other brands? None.
Pfizer team came to meet to them 5 times, the top guys says "NO" and interested on Sinovac only because CP owned some shares in Sinovac China.

Whether or not there is a free visa entry, many foreign tourists choose to stay. End up staying too long and becoming illegal.
Let us not complain that Thai people overstaying abroad have become illegal. The same goes for foreigners who stay in Thailand; many overstay and become illegal residents.
