@Mark *******
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

@Ken *****
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.

@Richard ********
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.

@Richard ********
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.

all good my friend.. I don't mind trolls if they actually take the time to say something entertaining and funny.. But his comments were just boring.. so he is not even a good troll.

I think this one or the METV visa are the 2 I will look at.. Seeings how Karan seems to think I don't have 800k.. I guess my broke butt will have to figure out a different reason lol
