Ok, so you've read all the dumb comments, how about I give you the correct information from lived experience 👍

You need to visit the revenue office, preferably in person with your Thai partner, if you have one. Dress well and be polite, as always in Thailand. They will ask why you need a tax number. You will need a legitimate reason (support partner, work, pay tax on foreign income etc). Tourists will get refused. Take every single bit of evidence and ID you have.

That's the proper way to do it.

Christian Vogler well then, if you've been here for 14 years, I assume you know the Thai translation for 'go fly a kite'.

Always always always... and I'll repeat that. Always wear appropriate clothing when visiting any Thai government office. You will have far less issues. Remember, you are judged on face value whether you agree or not.

This is a job for... the local market! They love when I give change and swap for big baht notes.
