You would have to bring that up with the BoI.

I'm bringing it up with you, because you are the one singing its praises.

Perhaps they were hoping to attract a level of wealth to Thailand, that was not as interested as BoI hoped

Sure, I would accept that. So why doesn't Thailand attract wealthy retirees, and to this visa class?

Again - I have yet to meet one person, with the LTR who is disappointed. 

I have yet to meet a foreigner ever admit to making a bad decision in Thailand.

The one's complaining are pretty much those who did not try, or tried and did not get the visa. 

I didn't know there were any complaints.  I thought everyone was "content."

It may be a 'sad' truth, but that is the truth.

Huh?

 

Sad, or happy, I'll just stick to the truth / facts.

OK. Its a great visa. For those who have it, the Visa is what it is cracked up to be.

Everyone with the visa is content. Re-read what I posted.   Those who complain are those who don't have it.

Glad to read that.  The truth is, those with the Visa are happy.

This is your opinion. 

 

Many who could meet the criteria, including myself, didn't go for it.  Why?

You need to broaden your circle of acquaintances.

Says you, but you don't have many acquaintances, so how would you know?

Yes, I wish you would do the same.

and that is why you try to put the Visa 'down' .  Because you don't have the visa. 

 

You need to get out more.

You could not be more wrong.

 

I repeat , those who have the Visa think it is what it is cracked up to be - and again you were proven wrong.

It's not just me putting the visa "down."  The stats show it was not so popular.  You even said that yourself. 

 

Many people, including myself, qualified, but didn't go for it. I could have that visa if I wanted it.  I stuck with the devil I know.
