And we are talking about staying in Thailand for more than 180 days, during which you genuinely rely on government services.

However, if you are truly just a tourist, there is no debate about it.

@Steve *******

there also a Thai citizen who spends 100,000 baht per month and still pays taxes? Has the tax you paid in your home country been used in Thailand? Did your taxes contribute to building roads, public utilities, or paying the salaries of public officials whom you may sometimes rely on?

That is not an excuse—you still benefit from the government and its efforts to keep you safe and you used them.

Perhaps it is your home country that is taking advantage of you, while you, in turn, benefit from Thailand's resources and services?

I don’t mind paying taxes—that’s the reason we have a beautiful Thailand. You use roads, public lights, police, etc., so you should pay for them. If you think that’s unfair, then why are local Thais the ones paying for it?

If you’re a tourist staying temporarily, that’s understandable. But if you’ve been living in Thailand for more than 6–12 months, nah. specially right now I'm on dtv and planing to stay here for 5yrs. I don't want to deny entry because I didn't pay my tax and pay my due / contribute on this country
