Step 2: Understand the Differences

Differences exist for a reason, and that’s for the best. The significant differences between the Elite Ultimate Privilege and Elite Superiority Extension membership packages lie in its membership fee. The Elite Ultimate Privilege Membership requires a one-time payment of THB 2,000,000 (+ Thai VAT of 7%), in addition to THB 20,000 annual fee. The Elite Superiority Extension Membership requires a lower amount at THB 1,000,000 and with no annual fee and no VAT.

Considering the price difference, the Elite Ultimate Privilege Members will receive
complimentary unlimited limousine transfer to-and-from the airport to the individual’s residence on international flights (within Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Samui). The Elite Ultimate Privilege Members will also receive benefits in Golf (up to 24 complimentary green fees), Spa (up to 24 spa treatments), and a complimentary health check up in Thailand’s leading hospitals annually. These privileges are not accessible for the Elite Superiority Extension.

Another important difference to note is that as an Elite Ultimate Member, you may transfer your privilege entry visa on its remaining validity, to another person with a transfer fee of 20% of the prevailing rate. The Elite Superiority Extension membership is non-transferable, as well as non-refundable.

Step 3: Recognize Which Thailand Elite Membership Suits You

The right membership is not the one that give you most, but the one that give you exactly what you need. If your purposes match with the Elite Ultimate Membership and you regard it as affordable, there is no reason to settle for something but the ultimate. At some point, if you intend to fly over your immediate family members, the  Elite Family Premium membership allows the applicant’s spouse and dependents to settle and reside in Thailand.

If you prefer an individual membership, the Elite Superiority Extension is certainly useful for your frequent business trips or travels to Thailand.
