What are the advantages of the Thai PE visa compared to a retirement extension?

ORIGINAL POSTERHello, I've seen the Thai PE visa discussed across all Thai forums. It has its detractors and its supporters. I'm actually half way through a 5 year PE visa and have to say it suits me perfectly. When it runs out I will be officially retiring so will look at my options again. I'd like to hear the thoughts of members here. Tie up 800,000 in a bank (every year) for a 1 year extension of stay based on retirement, or pay 1 million (once) for a 10 year PE?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the advantages of the Thai PE visa in comparison to traditional retirement visa options. The original poster expresses satisfaction with their current PE visa experience and contemplates future options upon retirement. Comments suggest that the choice largely depends on personal needs, with references to changes in the visa's terms that may now allow for longer durations, specifically noting the possibility of a 20-year option for a 1 million payment.
