All these changes will effectively make it a lot more difficult for expats to live in Thailand. I always go to penang to renew my NON-B every year and this is bad news for me. I could apply for one year extension but I never did because I enjoy my visa runs and it also involves more reuirements and paperwork. (When I looked into one year extensions few years ago I also heard the officials required 'tea money' to grant the extension, I don't know if this is the case today.)
Guess I will have to look into one year extension again.

Perth being one of the nearest. You can still get a single entry non-B and then proving you pay your minimum wage income taxes (20% +- of 35 - 60k per month depending on country of origin... its all on both the sites listed above) you can get the single entry made into a multiple entry...
