There have been reports of this happening it doesn't matter if the Royal gazette says it's legal or it isn't legal immigration does what they want this will be done by individual officer one guy at the airport may not ask while the one two lanes over will want to see it they all do it different that's the wonderful thing about Thailand immigration they read from the same playbook
like I previously said I agree immigration the banks and the Thai tax people are all going to have to get together and play from the same hymn book. Honestly all kidding aside does anybody really think that's going to happen anytime soon
let me rephrase that myself and the many friends I have here have yet to hear from them about not complying there you go sorry about that I made it unclear
I have many many friends living here as I do all of them full-time and not one of them myself included has done anything about the tax. Because they implemented and then you hear nothing more about it when's the last time you heard it mentioned in the Thai news or in the Thai groups for expats me I haven't heard it in months and months. Because it would have to be enforced and nobody's going to enforce it
