May 8, 20169 yr Searched the BP website and can find nothing on Thai Elite Visa +owning land Article title is “Thailand Elite Card plans premium service upgrade”. Wonder of forum rules prohibit a Google Feeling Lucky link?

Personally I think it sounds like they are desperate (for attracting customers) and just tossing around ideas without having the proper authority to actually implement them, nor any customer data that shows that they would work.

Well as I have never paid taxes in Thailand it's a No Go for me, my application would be rejected.
