Stay on the retirement visa, I turned 50 in October, had been border running for 5 year waiting to get the retirement visa then they brought out the dtv, I thought my prayers had been answered. I'm in kuala lumpur now doing an in/out because wasn't easy to extend in immigration and border run companies wanting 6500bt for a bounce at borders. I'm considering giving up(if possible) the dtv and just going onto a retirement visa, no leaving thailand to extend every 180 days!
