exactly and I don't know what rights the non O gives you apart from the right to stay for a year.

I'm on retirement extension but seriously looking at the DTV as it just offers so much more flexibility

Not one bit. Realise the Thai tax department struggle to tax their own citizens

5 year multiple entry tourist visa with which you can stay literally every day for 5 years with only 1 border run a year

The multiple entry part is worth it on its own. It's 4k per year for us non O visa holders

I don't see why not, with over 750,000 empty condos in Bangkok there is many more people required here.

They want people here and this visa is getting the feet on the ground and people spending money in Thailand
