I havent paid federal income taxes since 2020 while drawing 65k USD a year. My retirement is based off compensation from the VA its not pension. In the DTA guidelines thailand will not tax me either.
you are giving bad advice if the income isnt covered under the DTA in thailand you are subject to their tax structure

If you are in thaialnd for a accumlitive of 180 days ( doesnt have to be consecutive ) you are subject to their tax no matter if you derive income locally in thailand or from foreign sources. Again thats if its not covered under the DTA
yes there is you may want to check that i know a few retired visa holders thst limit what they bring in to avoid paying taxes. My income is tax free due to a treaty between US Government and thai Kingdom DTA treaty.
If an Americans income is the result of federal benifits Thailand doesn't tax it

That is a term used for people on visa exempts abusing the privledge, I would make sure you have proof of the 400k baht in savings they are asking to see that at immigration with the DTV and other paper work its random but id be ready to show your documents
