TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses the implications of Thailand's income tax laws for foreigners, particularly focusing on those who stay longer than 180 days. It highlights potential double tax issues and references a detailed overview available on an external website. Comments from users question the fairness of visa issuance alongside changing tax laws and seek clarification on tax responsibilities for citizens from specific countries.

it depends of your income source and taxes you pay.

You can pay taxes in your home country but can have to pay in Thailand because their calculation methods are different. That's why some countries are trying to avoid this for retirement pension for which they already pays taxes.

Moreover, the tax is an old law that has just been approved and concerns the 8 income sources which are mentioned in the Section 40 of Thailand's Revenue Code :
