if you are serious,you better do it asap, there has been talk or rumour in social media or internet about tightening visa application or raising the requirement. On the other hand: thailand will implement worldwide tax for long stayer starting JAN next year, impact on retirement demand to be assessed
but you have to be carefulnot to agitate the violator, you know gun control not very effective as judged from the recent violence in shopping malls and even nursery
seems there is forever talk of visa tightening fo retirees abd the new policy on worldwide income maybe worriesome to some. The Elite visa does increase price drastically
