I agree with everything said above. Rents are cheap and that allows you to pick up and run on a whim. I have no problem with the retirement visa and I'm getting another 60-day for October, but I suspect my next visa will be the "old man" visa.
I'll buy a car at that time, but I won't invest a single baht in Thailand until they get their thinking staightened out. First it was the falang companies getting the evil eye. Then this visa thingy. And lastly the Tesco fiasco. Until they can insure some sort of continuity to the falang who would invest in Thailand, I consider it a bad choice.
And if I've learned anything at all, I think it's going to go well past the point of the Thais realizing that they've made some mistakes for them to make it reasonable for outside investment. It all has to do with saving face, so I don't expect quick solutions.
