dangerous assumption - remittances are visible under Common Reporting Standards and penalties and back taxes can be painful it’s a personal choice whether to pay taxes as it is in any other country - getting caught is another matter and social media is certainly not the kind of forum to discuss tax evasion

my sister moved there and took up citizenship 30 years ago and raised a family there, has adapted and accepted their rules even though she doesn’t always agree with them, I have done likewise with Thailand you take a place as you find it not as you like it otherwise it’s a miserable existence - Thai bureaucracy can be mind numbing at times but that’s their way not for me to be critical and certainly not suggest they are racist.
