Not worth it in IMO - very high financial requirements, health insurance from Thai company, and although you get 5 year permission to stay, you still have to do 90 day address report & go to Immigration each year to prove you have maintained the financial resources required as well as the health insurance.      The O-A Visa IMO is the better deal even with the added health insurance requirement.

Only if you dont leave.. For my position.. In and out.. Its near perfect. Its almost zero more work, and 5 year chunks. 

 

The only question is 'stamped in to the end date of the insurance' for me. I would be loathe to insure myself 12 months of the year to be here 4 or 5.
