elite visa probably needed if you can not find other ways to get a long stay visa, like you are too old to get mandatory insurance or simply too costly

some reality check apart from visa :: air

pollution (you

can download air quality app.to check

daily) can.be quite serious, water

quality (local people do.not drink from

tap water), public drainage system is

poor (avoid living in high risk big flood

area), low world ranking in public road

safety, also avoid living too near sky

train station (noise level high) or too far

away (too hot to walk long distance),

ALL THE.ABOVE CAN BE RESEARCHED

USING GOOGLE SEARCH

i think you have to make sure that vaccines shot in thailand (esp made in thailand) are recognized overseas for travel. Maybe it is better to check with WHO which serves as a worldwide benchmark. Previously hongkong did not recognize even sinovac shot in thailand sponsored by China consulate n hk trade office in thailand!
