Very strange. So the airline asked to see it? It is 20k THB or equivalent is it not for a visitor - never known it asked for though by anyone.

I left departure details blank both times I entered.

Your penultimate paragraph makes no sense at all. You know retired visa holders who do have to pay tax except they do not have to pay tax?

@Mirko ******
There are dozens cresting content in Thailand on tourist visas, visa exempt and retirement visas. I have never ever seen any reports of anyone getting into trouble for it. The nearest is when people have done actual client facing work like acting as tour guides or drivers. They are the ones who get into trouble.

He was doing it long before the DTV. Is he on a DTV now?

@Andrew *******
You obviously did not even read the article. PS: have you ever paid tax in Thailand ie submitted a tax return here?

Anonymous participant 463 There are people doing it on a DTV but it is a very grey area. Some are not just publishing content but offering services in Thailand like booking trips and accom - that is definitely a No-no

Very good question. Do not take this as 100% advice but I was told by tax advisors if I had no assessable income then no need for a tax return. Thus I did not complete one this year. I also know some tax offices will not even issue a TIN if no assessable income. Just being in country 180 days is not enough.

You cannot start a business in Thailand on a DTV. At least not work in it etc. You could invest in a business but need to be totally hands off.
