all this chat about "new" tax rules, there is nothing "new" about the requirement to complete and file a tax return after spending more than 180 days in the country, that has always been the case for a long time, if someone doesn't own a business, or they are not doing any kind of work in Thailand, such as retirees, the vast majority of these people have not done anything and will probably continue to do nothing, weather it is enforced in the future will remain to be seen, it could be enforced by maybe making it a visa requirement, or thai banks could request extra documents, to sustain or open an account. All these digital nomads giving all their personal information, regarding earnings and tax status, for all you know all that information, could be evidence gathering, for a future clamp down on people working from within Thailand, and not being registered for paying tax, because in past most digital nomads just hid away in a hotel room somewhere, and did nothing, and will probably continue to do so.
