More Pie in the Sky?

As the northern province is home to about 12,000 long-stay foreigners and a destination the government wants to promote as a medical hub, Kobkarn said her ministry would push the Immigration Bureau to loosen measures, such as dropping 90-day check-ins in favor of an annual system.
The population of long-staying residents is expected to grow 5 percent to 10 percent annually, she said.

Being generous and taking the northern province alone and say mid range 7% increase year on year that mean 840 growing to a 1000 additional Farangs every year want to call Chiang Mai home. Is this really a realistic figure? How many years has it taken to get to 12,000? That is almost an exponential growth. So Max I find that hard to believe.

Anyway relaxing the way it is done now, is certainly overdue. I have already noted that Immi 1 in Bangkok is drowning under it's own Bureaucracy.
