Jomtien Beach looked like that probably for the time it took to take the photo.
The beach is filled with chairs all the way to the waterline...
Of course, more than half of the chairs are empty, even in high season...

On Lazada / AliExpress, try Chuwi (original store!). It's a Chinese budget brand of reliable tablets and notebooks with several models in your budget. 
They often use older components that'll be fine for your purposes. Good built quality, I made two purchases & no issues...
While fakes might be ok quality for clothes & shoes, I would not recommend buying any of the "fake" phones/tablets/laptops - they often are completely useless scams. The description might resemble a brand product, but the item shipped will decidedly not. Read too many horror stories, waste of money imo

I think most of this devaluation is adjusting the "official" Peso conversion rate to the informal "Blue Dollar" rate.
The previous government tried to control currency rates, including an artificial (fantasy) conversion rate, resulting in a grey market where you could get significantly more pesos for your $...
Some/most/all (?) of the difference was already passed on in the local prices...
Argentina has a tough road ahead; this change might make tourism easier, hopefully contributing to improvements for Argentina in the long run...

Thanks for posting, that's good to know. I've always carried just paper or photos, but have never been checked, so was never sure it'll be sufficient...

It's a chain that grew before and during CoVid, there are seven Quarter hotels by UHG all over Bangkok...

paulsf has it right: it's not AirBnB that's illegal in Thailand, it's short-term rentals of less than 30 days. Long-term rentals on Airbnb are no issue.
Even if it hasn't been enforced in the past, it only takes one upset tenant/owner in the building to cause a stink and get you into trouble...
There are now a number of serviced apartment buildings in Bangkok, so if you want to be on the safe side AND have a kitchen, laundry, etc it's easier than it used to be...

One advantage of getting the SIM card at the airport is the ease of use:
The staff will usually set it up for you, so you know it works. No problem with damaged SIM or configuration issues.
And the instructions are in English. I bought a SIM package in town once that was Thai only, so figuring out how to reload etc was extra effort.
The local packages are usually better value though, bye a few THB...

The latest policy makes it impossible to go, but at the same time you can't get a refund for air or hotel, because theoretically it's your decision not to go. Foreigners pay, Thai hotel owners get to keep the money...
I bet Anutin is laughing all the way to the bank... screw the dirty farangs...

It's a longer route, requiring more fuel.
Some planes can make the longer route, some have to make stops to refuel which some airlines decided to do.
Thai might not have the planes, might not have ground ops for a stop-over or plain doesn't want to pay for it...

They had dispatchers for a while. Problem was, they were in cahoots with drivers, telling visitors there was a fixed fee of THB500 or more, which was defeating the purpose of the machines, tags, etc...
