Free golf and massages. Not worthless.

I don’t have the right kind of stick for golf, and I hate massages, free or otherwise.  Living in Chiang Rai the chauffeur service is not available, I see a doctor every 6 months for a full checkup and blood work up, a skin doctor every 2 months, a plastic surgeon every 6 months and a urologist every year so I don’t think anything other than my basic 20 year package which takes up to 83 yo is appropriate for me. I fully expect to be brown bread by then.

 

At 67 years old, lifestyle and preventative medicine is the most important thing, once a year is not enough.

10 year LTR visa is 50,000 baht and no 90 day reports  and exempt from Thailand taxes owed  and you can get a work permit if desired.  I don’t see anyone close to age 50 and above paying anything close to 6 million baht now that the LTR visa is available.  I prefer the LTR visa and its benefits and cost over any and all the various Thai Elite Visas.

I am always amazed at the silly replies from those that could never afford a decent long term visa for Thailand that makes life a lot less difficult than their retirement/marriage visa (eg DTV or Elite).  OK, I get that you can't afford it or don't meet the criteria - no need to be annoyed by those that can.  There are pluses and minuses of every visa -- but be real -- those that can afford a decent no (low) hassle visa don't deserve the vitriol from the plebs!!!

What are the O2 levels in the rarefied air where the elites reside, that you would be willing to pay so much for a Visa to live in Thailand?

 

Then again, we should be honored that someone of your stature came to hang out with us plebs on this site.  GOD bless you for giving us some of your time.

When you have the means to ensure that the immigration stuff is merely a minor annoyance, rather than a major production yearly, then I would suggest that makes a lot of sense. 

 

Here in the rarefied air of some one that can actually afford to live in Thailand, you really do annoy the rest of us with your whining about the difficulties of living in Thailand.  A little suggestion -- go home!

You are most welcome!  Now scurry off  -  unless, of course, you have further ruminations on the unfairness of your inability to make bank for premium visas.

This is a Tier 1 visa. It is lifetime, and with unlimited transfers/sales between people. Theoretically this means it will never expire.

Benefits from this visa:

1 free massage per day everyday in the best spas across Thailand. No limits. Can be used everyday of the year, forever.

Free Golf fees across the best courses in Thailand.

Free airport limo pickup & dropoff to/from condo/ hotel + VIP service at airport (no limits per year)

- 1 Free annual health checkup per year at Bumungrad Hospital

 

my asking price is $6M, If you are interested please contact me, and note that any transfer will be done through the official Thailand Elite office for legal and safety reasons

Dream on...

Please see this correction the OP posted early in this topic:

 

$6m baht translates as dollar six metres Baht.

 

The OP does not mention what country's dollar he means but it is safe to assume that it is the United States dollar (curreny code: USD)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar?wprov=sfla1

 

With m, the OP obviously does not mean metre or the prefix milli, but million. There is no official symbol for million and one sees different symbols used by different people and different news publications, the most frequently used being M, which is the prefix mega.

With baht, the OP clearly means Baht (currency code: THB)

Get in touch with a Chinese agent, it wouldn’t be too hard to sell the lifetime Thai elite.

Thats not a bad idea... Although knowing which ones to get into touch with is the tricky part. As is trusting them, though any transaction would still have to go through TPC.

 

But...  passing over a Life Time Elite Membership (and life time visa) to a Chinese person is certainly going to rub up some of the "not for me" (I can't afford it) crowd....

The 'O2' levels where the 'air' is clear enough to see the investment. 

 

Having owned LifeTime Elite Membership for over 15 years its already paid for itself... 

- AOT Transport (approx 16x per year) with fast Track through Airport: 16,000 baht per year

- Golf (20 to 50x per year at 2000-4000 Baht per round) - Av approx 120,000 baht per year 

- Massage: Weekly: *26,000 baht per year 

- Yearly Medical: 20,000 per year

 

- Rough workings: about 180,000 baht of perks per year...   

 

At a cost of 1MB - mine paid for itself quite quickly... 

 

*using the argument that you'll only pay 500 baht for a cheap massage, in reality these are high end massage places that usually cost anywhere from 1500 to 2000 baht.

For someone who plays Golf 3x per week and likes decent / top courses

(4000 baht per round) - consider that to be around 642,400 baht per year...   OK, so its unrealistic to play 3x per week every week...  so half that: and you're still looking at 300,000 to 400,000 per year on golf alone... 

 

For those in that sort of target demographic - the cost of membership is not an extreme proposition at all. 

 

When the membership first came out we had all the same comments - the nay sayers etc... 

Years later - there are Thai Elite Members (Life timers  and 20 year members) whose membership has more than paid for itself.
