What are the tax obligations for expats in Thailand who stay over 180 days?

Al**

I've never heard of anyone that isn't working and withdraws money sourced from foreign banks at Thai ATMs AND pays taxes on that money. For me at least that's unheard of still.

@Lucas *********

Interesting I've been thinking about this as I plan to move there. It seems nobody has posted about getting questioned on taxes if staying over 180 days on DTV so far.

Just remember after 6 months in a calendar year you become a Thai tax resident. Something to keep in mind.

My question is what's the advantage of having a Thai bank besides the supposed pay with QR and transferring funds? Doesn't it open you up to tax implications depending on how much you transfer and hold in there? Why not just use a foreign bank that rebates your ATM fees and call it a day? I'm trying to understand the reasoning behind it.
