What are the best options for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand as a UK citizen?

Greg ********

@Hathaway ************

if you marry then you don't change your visa as such just what your next extension is based on at renewal time. 400K for marriage versus 800K for retirement, more paper work for marriage. If you are on an OA visa and extend based on marriage you don't need health insurance.
