Thai Visas are getting more difficult for sure. There really nothing for under 50's that are not married to a Thai to be able to stay long term. Perhaps only the Elite Card which is a minimum of 500,000thb for five years, and you still have to do the 90 day reports or visa runs. :-(

You never know... if bitcoin keeps going like that we might be able to get one of those cards... although I rather keep the 500,000thb ... that buys a few houses here ;-)

Yeh, I'd be gutted to give 500,000thb just for the right to remain here! Like you said $280 per year for an Ordinary visa renewal in Cambo is the way forward. Much easier!
