I'm confused. Just read this new article just posted today on taxes. So it says we're not taxed on income sourced outside of Thailand. But later it talks about Residency rule and that we ARE taxed. So I'm confused, are we taxed or not taxed? It appears rules on foreigners earning outside Thailand those rules haven't changed. Can anyone clarify?

So I’m about to stay 6 months in Thailand, previously was here for 3 on tourist visa. What is everybody’s thoughts regarding becoming a tax resident after 180 days? It’s this huge issue that’s lingering over my head and it’s stopping me from enjoying myself because I’m paranoid about future tax complications.

So far there’s no clear answers or guidelines for anything, which makes it even more confusing. Has anyone gone to the tax office or tried to register for tax ID? How is everyone going to deal with this?

If anyone has any insight or experience with trying to work this out with officials would be interested in hearing your thoughts
