Answer summary
When arriving in Bangkok with a retirement visa, you should proceed through customs as usual. Ensure your passport is inspected by Immigration officers before entering the customs area. Clarifications were made regarding the terminology used, emphasizing that there isn't a specific 'retirement visa' but rather the Non-Immigrant O or O/A visas associated with retirement.

okay if you enter Thailand with a Non-Imm-O/A, make sure right after the immigration booth, that they stamped you in correctly. You will receive a one year permit of stay

If you are referring to a non imm o-a multi entry visa that you bought from a Thai embassy or consulate in your country, make sure you check the stamp to be sure they stamped you in for a year.

thank you good.infoGregor **********
myself I might sound silly now, yet there is nothing such as a "retirement visa". either you got a Non-Imm-O or O/A Visa based on retirement, or you are on an Extension of Stay based on Retirement. One is a "visa" and two is an "Extension of Permit of Stay"

if you got nothing to declare, you can walk through customs in the green section quite normally
