TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses tax obligations for individuals with a DTV visa living in Thailand for over 180 days. It highlights that even without a bank account, one can be a tax resident and must file a tax return if bringing 120,000 baht or more of income into Thailand. Various methods of income transfer and cash withdrawals are mentioned, confirming that taxes apply regardless of the payment method.

Yes any remitted money (transfer, credit card, cash) to Thailand may be liable for taxes depending on your situation. You're considered as fiscal resident when staying in Thailand for 180 days and more, per calendar year.

If you bring 120k baht or more of assessable income into Thailand in a year you are a tax resident you have to file a tax return. It doesn't matter how you bring the income in, bank transfers to either your own or a friends account (for your benefit), withdrawing from an ATM, even travelling into Thailand with cash in your pocket
