If say, within the next 2-5 years, the amount required to keep in a Thai bank (in your name in order to obtain a 1 year visa extension on the basis of retirement) is increased to 1.2 million Baht (50% increase) or to 1.5 million Baht (nearly 100% increase) on the basis of a higher cost of living in Thailand, then would you still consider extending your 1 year type-o visa in Thailand?

"If Say"---It hasn't changed since it was brought in about 20 years ago---and your talking about a possibility of a 50-to  100% increase. 

Also I think most long term stayers are married--which gives an option for  half that amount.  

I think most long term people view as getting better over the years.  Before it came , you had to leave the country to obtain another years  visa , air fares -hotels etc .

Then when that was stopped--- you still had to leave the country every 90 days--walk across a border do a U turn and come back.

They have brought in all other options for longer term Visa's --if that suits you.

Yet still you get people thinking---"there out to get us"
