wow;
curious if they give him a 90 day extension, (Under consideration for 90days ) or the full year.
for phuket

Minimum of 800.000 Baht in Thai bank account (in your own name) for at least 2 months before the application date.
]After your 2019 application a minimum of 800.000 Baht in Thai bank account (in your own name) for at least 3 months and a minimum of 400.000 Baht for the remainder of the year until your next application date in 2020. (in conjunction with the 800.000 Baht for 2 months before the application date)
This new requirement will be checked at your next extension application starting from 2020.
(Therefore make sure that your bank book is updated on a regular basis)
In a random selection process it is possible that applicants will receive a 90 days under consideration stamp and have to return to the immigration department after 90 days with new bank statements to proof that the 800.000 Baht is still in your account after which the remaining months will be granted.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: Retire in Thailand
Business as usual, went down to Jomtien Immigration yesterday and submitted my application for another year extension of stay based on retirement. Was in and out in under an hour, come back in 90 days to show bank book balance still above the required level.
Was expecting the office to be quiet given the anti Thai online doom merchants predictions of an exodus of retired foreigners due to supposed ever tightening requirements, the opposite seemed to be the case with plenty of financially secure wrinklies queuing up for another year of relaxed easy living. The process is still incredibly easy regardless of what you may feel about the merits of the country itself.
