There are only a tiny number of transferable memberships that are potentially available. When those holding such memberships have indicated that they are open to offers, they have received offers that are totally inadequate. There is simply no incentive for anyone to try to setup a marketplace for something that, at best, might result in one or two transactions per year.

 

A 2nd hand transferrable membership will cost you more than the cheapest non transferable new memberships ... if you can find anyone potentially willing to sell their transferable one.

Correct... and we see that ridiculous lowballing with such threads on here...  where idiots state.. I’ll give you 200,000 baht (or whatever)...  and then try to justify their trolling because they dont like the perks etc... 

 

 

Utlaimtely - the original LifeLong memberships are transferable as follows:

- Life membership (transferable for life)

- Life membership (transferable for 30 years)

 

Theoretically - the Life Membership transferable for 30 years ‘could’ be valued at 2.8 MB (+200k trx fee) because a new 20 year full perks membership is 2MB...  so IF someone has use for 30 years then thats the extra value.. Of course, a little realism comes into it, but the 30 year membership is certainly worth more than the Max of 20 years that can currently be purchased and the transferable for life membership worth more than that.

I am in sympathy with everything you write. I would just temper it a little with pointing out that, for many, a membership that only allows 90-day permissions to stay at a time has less value than one that provides one-year at a time. Life memberships are still worth far more than the derisory offers you often see for them.
