Will visiting Thailand multiple times in a year affect my ability to enter again just before Christmas?

Steve *******

The crackdowns don't affect you.

They are limiting people from staying here long term by doing back-to-back border bounces, not how many times tourists can visit per year.

That is against the rules set by the embassy. If you do it, they could cancel your application.

Do I need a Thai Tax number if I stay over 180 days on a DTV as a Remote Worker?

Steve *******

@Andre ********

no, you will never be treated as a Thai person at the places where they charge dual prices.

Not even people with thai ID cards get fair treatment.

There are VERY few exceptions to this, where having a Thai ID card/drivers license enables you to pay the thai price. And that only applies if the person working in the booth wants to do it.
