BUT FOR SG is really those Ultra Rich foreigners can able to do the same thing in SG.
This I agree, but it is better to live in Chiangmai, rather than BKK, cos there is a low lying area, prone to floods and the air leaves much to be desired......

https://www.thaiembassy.sg/visa-matters-...-long-stay
The
US$100K (overseas) health insurance requirement for long stay visa will be a problem for older retirees (or at least negates the lower cost of living in Thailand) cos cheapest will be FWD but it only covers up to 65yo.
https://www.fwd.com.sg/international-health-insurance/
For CignaGlobal that covers old age beyond 65yo, the annual insurance premium will reach US$12,620 for a 85yo male.
And it increases almost exponentially for those who survived longer.
https://www.cignaglobal.com/
And seems to me that the only way to avoid paying this health insurance will be to marry a Thai.
The visa for marriage visa doesn't have this US$100K requirement.
But there is still a big catch with this, which is that the Thai spouse must survive
longer than the farang since a letter from the spouse is needed for the visa application. Wonder if having a Thai kid with the Thai spouse will help should latter kicks the bucket earlier?

Actually for a long stay till
old age (ie death), the only trouble/visa-free way will be for one to get a Thai citizenship, years after marrying a Thai (wife only?).
