Everyone saying they will tighten it up it's too easy are not considering maybe they want to make it easy?

More people living in and spending money in Thailand helps Thailand.

Maybe I'm being very optimistic but I think there is a plan to get as many people as possible.

Re taxes , it may happen, they do struggle to tax Thai's so the taxing of foreigners will be a long long road as most do not even have a tax ID.

Enjoy it for what it is until it could change. Then make plans if you need to
