Should I choose travel insurance or medical insurance for my 5-month stay in Thailand?

Steve *******

Travel insurance, especially from the UK, tends to only cover you for 30 or 60 day trips out of the Country even though it'll be valid for 1 year. Carefully check the small print on the policy!

Will I be flagged by immigration if I return for a tourist exemption shortly after exiting Thailand?

Steve *******

Residency where? UK? They accept a passport, UK driving licence or utility bill in your name as residency in the UK and yes they should accept the money in a Thai bank account.

Can I return to Thailand on a visa exemption and convert to a retirement visa later?

The Non Imm O IS the 'retirement visa'. The stamp you get in Thailand is the yearly 'extention of stay'

What type of visa should I apply for if I want to start a business in Thailand with my Thai girlfriend?

You can invest in a business on any visa or visa exemption. I doubt you'll be able to work legally in the bar.

Non Imm O gives you 90 days NOT 60 days and saves you converting to a Non Imm O in Thailand as you ALREADY have the visa from your home Country
