@Ian *******
thanks mate. Yeah I’ve looked already, we have a tax treaty with Thailand so if you’re taxed in Aust you can’t get double taxed in Thailand. Thailand also doesn’t tax civil service pensions including military (I’m a vet). Doesn’t mean you don’t have to submit your tax each year if here over the 180, but need to show the evidence so you don’t have to pay more tax.

Anonymous participant 319 agreed, broke people shouldn’t be able to bend the system to get one then live off peanuts here

Anonymous participant 319 I don’t pay taxes here because I pay them in Australia, but I bring a lot of my money into Thailand. I wish my pay was taxed here and not Australia, the taxes are less here lol
David ********
Well it actually did because international permits are higher fine amounts than Thai licenses

I’m on disability pension so I did soft power medical. Not sure how your disability pension works but with mine I get reimbursed for medical treatment overseas. So I get physio here for my crook back.

@Andrew ******
ah yeah I just checked, I would save about 100 baht transferring from wise to Thai bank rather than withdrawing 20k baht from the ATM
David ********
Why do you want one if your income isn’t coming from Thailand?

When you transfer your money from your country to a Thai bank you will pay fees and depending on the bank may lose money from the exchange rate.

Just pay the 220 baht ATM fee on max withdrawal amount.
