Watch out for

Your address must be reported via the TM30 within 24 hours of moving in; the receipt is required for visa extensions and 90-day reports, so confirm your landlord has filed it.
Deposit disputes over cleaning, repainting and wear-and-tear deductions are common; document the unit with dated photos at move-in and move-out.
The public Universal Coverage Scheme is for Thai citizens; nomads and temporary-stay foreigners do not automatically qualify and generally cannot use subsidised public care
Public access for foreigners exists only via employment-based Thai social security (employer contributions) - not an option for a typical nomad
