Thank you Johnny for your advice.
I can see that others are also interested in retiring in LOS
These changes are actually being targeted at the PRC chinese & angmo's to make Thailand more attractive place to visit e.g. for medical tourists, long term holiday,..
It is not targeted at ASEAN members like Spore. With all the talk of free trade agreements, I'm still waiting to see if the thais are going to make it easier for Sporeans as members of ASEAN to stay & do business in Thailand as part of AFTA
With what Thailand can offers it's no wonder that medical tourism in Spore is having problems. What has Spore to offer but high prices & so so 3rd world doctors.
