Getting an education/volunteer or other garbage junk tier visa will ruin your chances to get the Elite visa in the future and make you ineligible. Good thing to keep in mind if you actually plan to stay here long term and not just for 1-2 years.

Elite is the best value for what you get, you could open a business but that'd end up being more expensive with the amount of random fees and investment required will end up being more than the elite anyway.

You can apply for the Elite visa before the 15th of this month to get the old prices (600k baht instead of 900k for 5 years) and during that time you can just use visa exemption+extensions while waiting for the application to be approved which typically takes around 8 weeks. You'll then have an additional 30 days to make the payment and you're not obligated to if you change your mind.

You don't actually get the flight, they cancel it after you use it and get a refund.

Lie, I overstayed 1 day last year and I have an overstay stamp + had to pay the 500 baht fine. Would appear you're the one spreading misinformation

You can literally see in my picture that what you say couldn't be further from the truth, stop projecting and focus on paying the girls with 5 figure body counts on soi 6

If Bangkok is delusional fantasy world than so be it. Pattaya is a closed off hive from the rest of the country so makes sense
