there are better ways to waste your money.

Get stamped in for 60 days, and find an agent for a non-O visa here in Thailand if you have problems meeting the financial requirements.

It says overstays, plural, you have one overstay and not a history (!) of overstays(!), so you should be fine.

I have a tendency to believe my Thai tax accountant, who provided me with that info, more than a random person on Facebook 😂 but good luck to you! However, the problem is that people like you create a panic with their half or little knowledge.

savings are not income. Educate yourself before posting this nonsense.

this chart is oversimplified and pretty useless. The Thai tax system is not that simple. Only income remitted to Thailand is potentially taxable in Thailand, income that remains overseas is not taxable for tax residents. Also savings transferred into Thailand by a tax resident are not taxable. Moreover: Generous Tax Exemptions, Deductions and Allowances (TEDA) exist, along with a zero rated tax band, to create a significant tax free buffer for many tax payers. So let’s wait until 2025 to see how this really plays out and don’t create panic based on insufficient information.

Leave the country and come back or not.
