No numbers, but after living here for a few years I know how it works. Some "agencies" do this "job", you can see their publicity even on Facebook, easy to check .

Anonymous participant You are correct, unfortunately many foreigners still don't understand that if they live here in Thailand more than 180 days , the must pay taxes here not abroad (at least for the money they bring to Thailand).

@Steve *******
Sure , in my case I only pay taxes in Thailand, where I live, but only for the money I bring to Thailand.

@Steve *******
following the Thai law, a person who lives in Thailand more than 180 days is considered automatically a tax resident. "Individuals are considered resident if they reside in Thailand for a period or periods aggregating 180 days or more during a calendar year." Source here

Hi, I am also in Hua Hin. You could take a sleepy train to Padam Besar (very cheap), and Malaysia has a free visa on arrival. I am also based in Hua Hin, where did you get your DTV? What country?
