Pre mature, you just keep paying those taxes like you always have and always will Petey, follow those laws without question. 🤓

it’s about thinking critically not simply obeying because that’s what the law states. Boy I wish I could be that gullible. Unfortunately I’m not. And the news is the Thai government is already working at remitting that law as it has caused more confusion then compliance. Just a little research reveals that was not the intended outcome they were thinking and wanting as it was not clear enough. Therefor my good ol Petey unless you are transferring thousands upon thousands of dollars or recently bought a villa or condo or getting ample income through a Thai company. It’s best to use your discretionary thinking and moral compass to decide to pay the taxes or not. Regardless the Thai government is working on fixing this grey area “law” and to all my digital nomads who are earning an income online through a western company and paying your living expenses. I wouldn’t worry about this law.

it does help as it’s a clear indication that the government know they screwed up when they released that and are looking at revising it as they are losing loads of money from it.

exactly same here. That makes more sense to me. Doesn’t make sense to live in Thailand as a remote worker for any given timeframe and not work for and get paid by any Thai company but expected to pay taxes because you stayed longer than 180 days??? This is clearly meant for those with businesses or ppl working for a Thai company getting paid by the Thai company.

it’s very relevant and not so general as you might think. Especially with all of the political changes and expectations. “You may have a tax liability” says it all

agreed should be only for those who didn’t know oh forgot

Reality is I’ve been staying in Thailand for over 5 years working remotely and have never paid Thailand taxes. I know plenty of people who do the same. It’s more aimed at businesses than DTV holders or people working remotely.
