Quick question - if I am applying for DTV and say I remain in Thailand +180 days and therefore deemed a 'Thai tax resident' do I need to file my global income locally? Or only need to file for global income which is remitted to Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you are in Thailand for over 180 days and are considered a Thai tax resident, you typically only need to file a Thai tax return for assessable income that is remitted to Thailand, not your entire global income. However, your obligations may depend on your specific circumstances and the tax laws of your home country regarding double taxation.
Quick answer - you only need to file for remitted assessable income not global income.

It depends on your country and their tax laws for double taxation…consult a professional from both your passport holding country(s) and a Thai tax professional or Thai lawyer
really you need a professional to advise on your tax status

Neither. If you spend 180 days inside Thailand in any calendar year then you are automatically a Thai tax resident for that year. In any year you are a Thai tax resident and bring 60k baht or more assessable income into Thailand you need to file a Thai tax return for that year. Whether you will pay tax or not is very much dependent on your personal circumstances, what allowances you can claim, tax credits available to you etc. Income not brought into Thailand is irrelevant from a Thai tax perspective

Ask a tax accountant as everyone's circumstances are different, there is no "one fit all" answer
