zero interest in those stories IF they're coming from anonymous people

Participante anónimo enforcing the law should be always a priority. But the point is that not everybody living here needs to pay taxes. Why? Because if you don't remit any money, you're not subject to pay any income tax. This might sound impossible for people on visas that do require the holder to remit and keep money in Thailand, such as the retiree visa. But for most of the DTV remote workers category people, we don't remit money here. In my case, I don't even have (nor have ever had) a Thai bank account, for instance.

while having a bank account is not allowed on a DTV, either being married to a Thai national or owning a condo makes you elegible to have one, according to the reports

@Pete ******
this could be easily argued based on the fact that the DTV doesn't allow you to stay more than 360 continuous days at a time. So technically speaking, you're not even spending a full year in Thailand.
