17% flat rate tax for LTR. When I was on BOI Visa my tax rate was flat rate of 15%. Thai could not get that either. Thais in the office paid a higher % of tax than us over 750k a year.

Yes and there never has been a global tax liability. It was mooted by one person a year ago and that was it. All the dodgy newly minted tax advisors will be crying in their Leo. Back to selling crap financial instruments with outrageous front loaded commissions to the gullible.

You hit the nail on the head with the reason methinks. It depends on the person reviewing. The first review will be by a local hire in the embassy or Consulate.

is this bit correct? "For those residing in Thailand for 180 days or more in a tax year, the Resident Rule applies, making them liable for income tax on international earnings" I thought it was just on remitted monies and not global income?

This is just a return to pre 2024 status is it not. They may have to repatriate the money quicker now ie kn the first 2 years it was earned.

If it was me I would take the cheap Air Asia flight from CNX to Hanoi and apply there. Then while it was processing do some sight seeing. Sapa, Ninh Binh etc. Might even fly to Danang for Hoi An

As others have said nobody has reported this being asked unlike some with Ed. Will this ever change? Nobody knows and just deal with it if it does. Currently just come and go as yiu please.
