I have the funds ,I'm retired and can put 800,000 bht in the bank easy ,but I'm not retiring here,only thought about a 9 month holiday ,so retirement visa wouldn't be correct ,a lot of comments on here aren't written well and express sarcasm so seem bitter.but your advice makes sense,I will just stay 6 months then go elsewhere ,that's easy to do 🙏🏽

@Rene *******

thanks,helpful 🙏🏽

@Nongnuch *******

I don't know I was doing anything wrong as the way I'm doing is offered and your answer isn't helpful and sounds very bitter 🙏🏽

@Nongnuch *******

I'm a retired tourist ,I stay long spells in other countries as a tourist ,I haven't bought a property ,just rented for 9 months,not a year ,so this is real Thai thought 🤔you doing bitter to farang 🙏🏽what ever happened to land of smiles?I take a visa your country offers for sixty days ,I then pay 1900 but for another 30 days ,fly out and back ,three times ,pay for a place to stay for holiday,pay for food ,I'm not asking Thailand for anything ,so why you then say this ,no problem ,I will look elsewhere if this how thais feel now 🙏🏽

@Jiji **********

yes correct ,I'm a tourist ,I don't want to campaign

@Jiji **********

thanks jiji,well explained ,but it should never be up to a single immigration officer or the mood there in that day ,Thailand must have straight rules for people to follow with visas and for immigration officials to adhere to,it can't be up different individuals who might decide different ,there has to be clear law and regulation on amount of times 🙏🏽

@Bruce ***

thanks Bruce ,it's not illegal ,anyone can have a long holiday and money to support themselves ,so all the answers about it's up to a immigration official are confusing ,as there is only one law about visa,waiver,that you must be a tourist and not living here,so hopefully it's ok 🙏🏽🍻

How many times has he done this using visa waiver ?I'm on my first visa waiver and 1 month extension ,I planned two more,total 9 months here ,I'm a tourist and have rented a villa in Hua Hin ,I thought this is ok and within there laws ,its worrying after renting ,being a tourist,not planning to live,that i might get refused back in when my belongings and deposit are here ,Thailand needs to be more clear and state howany times back to back it's ok to stay on visa,waiver and extension ,not everyone wants or fits a DTV visa,is there anywhere that can't verify this as saying it's up to the discretion of one immigration official isn't good enough,there has to be clear guidelines !

Not sure how posting to strangers in a visa advice site is going to help😂😂what has iPhones and social media done to humans 😂😂😂🤯

@Us ****

not everyone in Thailand grows up in poverty 😂😂I've seen a lot more areas in the US poorer than Thailand and there's many nice places and people living well here ,the days are over of blowing that US trumpet 🙄🍻
