then when you are asked for your bank book at any time and have no funds, you get blacklisted from Thailand for getting a non legit visa.

So 10 years cost 5000 baht and 5 years in Thai elite cost 600k baht. Makes Thai sense. Just another pointless visa. Why can't they just make it simple, visa per years you want to stay. Name a cost for 1year with no hoops to jump through and see how many people go for it. Some people only want to be in Thailand for a year or 2

since I don't want to stay more than a extra year, I don't want to go through hassle of opening Thai bank account and closing it down the road. Plus I am a day trader, so having 22k in dead money is just foolish for someone like me.

yeah. I'll always come back as tourist. But I'll always want to retire in the states. I've enjoyed my last 8 months here and want to use Thailand as a base to travel this side of the world. So a year would be good enough for me.

I only want to stay in Thailand 1 more year. I don't need 5 years. I'm going to settle back in the US when a republican gets the white house again lol.
