Can someone guide me on the whole rule about leaving before 180 days to avoid being taxed as a Thai resident? I read we can extend for another 6 months, so if we can extend for another 6 months, what happens to the Thai tax rule? I also read further that if you don’t have money coming into a Thai bank account, you can’t be taxed anyway. I’m trying to explain this to my employer and I’m kind of confused. Thank you!

Hi I am an American, and was thinking of applying for the DTV. My intention is to live in Thailand long term (the full 5 years offered by the DTV) so I am also wondering about taxes. If I live more than 6 months in a place, I assume I am to pay taxes. And if this is not law in Thailand, it might be soon.

So I'd like to know what I can expect with in regards to taxes (tax rates) as a Freelancer with clients in the US. I will obviously have to file in the US as well. Wondering what the double taxation treaty between Thailand and USA is like. Where is it good to go for tax advice? Any general tips, resources, advice?
