Anonymous participant I agree. Most Thais and working expats pay taxes to improve infrastructure that benefits everyone, including other visa holders. Even though I’d rather not pay taxes, we have to do so to improve our lives. Some people only think about themselves and believe they’re contributing to the country just by spending their 50k, 60k,.. a month. Well everyone does. Funny. Just wait for the government to require tax declarations, as they already do for NON-B visa renewals, and there will be no more discussion.
