I wouldn't be overly concerned about it. Unless you're bringing in large sums of UNTAXED income, the tax authorities in Thailand know you've already paid in another country, and provided you're only bringing in essentially "money to live on" it's not worth their while to go hunting the small amounts of differences. This law has always been in place, but it's just not economical for them to go auditing every foreigner living in Thailand!
