You can go right through the e-visa and there's no mention of proof of funds . https://tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/tac/arrival-card/add/rq5AQ5fyRwqPhmFFa8AOQFT8KyE5LE8JPODqcI2%2BvlQ%3D/jrYSyOePrOYfVLeAUFlisA%3D%3D

Prices go up and down daily for no apparent reason, in fact they change during the day. I was once looking for a flight, left my browser open and later that day I refreshed the page and it had gone down £35 so I booked.

You could be onto something there, I can see the practicalities of asking "What your name?" and "Where you from?"

Can't you just freeze them off with a Wartner Wart remover?

I thought this would be obvious

There's a neat trick you can use on Skyscanner to help get the best price, click the link (just under where it says flights) that shows you the daily price for the whole month. As you can see the price varies wildly.
