Want to clarify on the taxes part.

Do i need to pay any taxes?

If i work for 180 days in Thailand in a year

Answer summary
If you hold a DTV visa and work in Thailand for 180 days, you may be considered a Thai tax resident. This means you could be subject to Thai tax laws, which generally require you to declare any income remitted to Thailand. It's advisable to consult a tax expert to navigate potential obligations and explore any applicable dual taxation treaties.

If you are a Thai tax resident and bring income into Thailand while you are you will almost certainly need to file a Thai tax return. The only income that doesn't count is usually defined in any dta between the country the income comes from and Thailand but this is usually restricted to certain types of pension.

No one here can answer that question.

If you spend 180 days in Thailand you are a Thai tax resident. Officially any money remitted to Thailand is taxable. You need to contact a tax expert to review any possible dual taxation treaties or other factors to determine if you are liable to pay taxes if you spend 180 days in Thailand in a single tax year (Jan-Dec).
