Jim I knew the comments would be coming re the Elite visa. I was a member and it is a very convenient visa to have. They also do a 20 year one for one Million baht but membership perks. Yes it's a lot of money but the extensions of stay each year are very easy to do at immigration. If you settle in Bangkok or Phuket the Elite people will do the extensions and 90 day reports for you but their maybe a small charge for doing so. The only draw back to the visa is that it is not exchangeable inside the country for any other visa so when it expires you do have to leave. What is the cost of convenience that's up to what you can afford. It's multi entry so you can come and go as you please and get stamped in another year when and if things get back to normal. Yes their cheaper options as stated above. Hope that helps.
Aylam Rosenthal it can't be changed inside the country however Thailand Elite offered a service at a price to convert to a Non B to work. That may have changed since I first signed up though.
