Those over the age of 50 have additional options to stay long term in Thailand. The Non-OA visa used to be attractive for those mixing longer stays in Thailand with some overseas travel. The Non O visa (retirement) in conjunction with one-year extensions, although requiring financial proof, is a very good option for most retirees who want to spend all or most of their time in Thailand on a long term basis. The option involves less hassle than needing to make visa runs out of Thailand every 60 to 90 days, which staying as a long term tourist necessitates. Also, while still possible at the current time, it may not always be possible, in the future, to get tourist visas indefinitely while returning through land crossings or those selected airports that honour consulate issued tourist visas.

There are many people who do not have the 800k requirement.

True. If they wish to use Non O visa (retirement) plus one-year extensions, they need to use an agent. At the current time, it is still possible to stay long term on tourist visas and visa runs, but care is needed to ensure you can get the visas and avoid denied entry on return to Thailand. Most who can qualify for Non O plus extensions will find it much less stressful.

Pedang Baser would be a good one. I think it is about the same distance as the one in Satun.
