After you've left? Since the computer age Governments never forget and they can check your historical travel history if they want to.

@David *******

they check a calendar when you leave.

@Vlastimil ******

That is amazing that they answered the phone.

@Philip ********

England? Don't you guys speak English there?

A lot of people are offering incorrect information here so be cautious about soliciting tax advise on Facebook. Do your own research.

The situation as I understand it is, Thailand will tax your remittances into your Thai bank accont if you are a 'tax resident' at the time of the transaction. There are perfectly legal work-arounds, but you still need to know what you're doing.

I just saw a blind Thai woman on the BTS last week. She seemed to be getting about on her own OK, the security guards helped her into the train and I helped her locate the grab pole to steddy herself. Security guards in Bangkok are everywhere and they are very helpful, unfortunately few speak English.

Sorry I could not answer your question but I wish you the best experience in Thailand.

sounds like you can't afford it.

Simpily rent. It is cheaper and easier anyway. If she is putting the pressure on that is a massive red flag.

500k is not much, anyway if you're a traveler just be a nomad.
