Thanks guys for all of your information. Possibly looks better to just go with the retirement Visa at this stage. I believe you can still get 2 years out of a one year O-A visa if you time things right..(correct me if I'm wrong )

That's correct. Its all about the ease of staying in Thailand permanently. I am seeking opinions.

Read my question again. Where did I ask should I stay single or should I marry? I asked about visas and easier ways of doing it.

Thanks, Dr Jack. Yup I'm looking at a one way ticket..full retirement in Phuket until I go tits up.

I'm 56. Its about convenience for me. 1 million baht for 20 years Thai Elite..I can live with that. When you say non O retirement..that's an O-A ? Basically looking for advice/thoughts from an outsiders point of view. ( I don't need to be judged thanks, HampiK ???? )

Would a marriage visa be better or Thai Elite and stay single? What are the pros and cons of each.
