Can I register as a tax resident in Thailand while on a tourist visa?

John ******

incorrect. in principle if you live more than 180 days a year in thailand you COULD be taxed. Depends on where the income is coming from, if there is a treaty between the country where you eaned the money and much more. Ask a tax consultant before you are going to ask for a tax id.
