Steve says he loves Thailand and would hope one day be able to retire there.

This brings me to a question : I thought that for some kinds of visa, the requirement is NOT to have a criminal record.

--> e.g. non-immigrant O visa (= retirement visa ?)
1.3 Having no criminal record in Thailand and the country of the applicant’s nationality or residence.

and even for marrying in thailand - a copy of criminal record history would be requiered ?

So he wouldn't be able to return to Thailand again if this was enforced, or do I understand this wrong ?

In my country there was the case of someone convicted, he was implicated in a case of beating someone to death (some bouncer turf war), though he himself wasn't present at the beating : phoned/tipped others. He had to spent jail time, and after his sentence in Belgium, he couldn't enter Thailand anymore.
