Is the DTV visa more suitable than a retirement visa for long-term stays in Thailand?

Tony **********

DTV is only good for 6 months stretches, retirement is indefinite stay. DTV is relatively new. Expect some changes in the coming years as they evaluate how is being used. It is still a tourist visa.
