BTW, to answer your earlier question regarding visa runs vs one year extension.

With one year extension you need to employ four Thais. By doing visa runs every 3 months I dont need to meet that criteria. And before another reason was you could have less than 50k in income but that changed now. (If you want one year multiple entry)

And third reason, for me, is that I enjoy leaving Thailand once in a while for a short holiday.

I do think the new rules make it a lot more troublesome for teachers, diving instructors and others who earns less than 50k, more hassle and more expensive visa runs if they have to go to KL instead of a daytrip with bus to Ranong.
