Hypothetical question: If a foreigner has a TIN does this automatically make him/her a tax resident even if he/she has not been in Thailand more than 180 days in any tax year? If anyone has a definite answer this would be appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, a foreigner must stay in the country for 180 days or more in a tax year to be considered a tax resident. Possessing a Tax Identification Number (TIN) does not confer tax residency status. Additionally, any foreigner earning income from properties in Thailand may still be liable to pay taxes on that income, regardless of their residency status.
Question...Less than 180 days in thailand but have many rental condos producing an income /profit does that person pay tax ?? My understanding is yes but people saying no because ur not here more than 180 days ...anyone know ??
I thought that.. some people are assuming u can dodge paying it by leaving the country for 180 .there must be something in the 180 days rule that's getting misunderstood
