I know what he means but those days are drawing to a close. Bangkok Bank already insist on four months the lump sum has to be in the account otherwise no letter! The other banks will follow suit! Already accounts are being frozen across the country and Facebook is packed full of whiney expats who can't get their money! lol

@Patrick ********

Just confirming he's likely to join that group of whiney expats who have had their accounts frozen! 😂😂😂

@Eamonn ******

I'm the same. I live in Thailand 7-8 months of the year, rest of the time I'm travelling. However, the point I was making is there's no value in counting days. For the last 15 years I've been in Thailand for more than 180 days a year, and yet I've never had to pay a single baht in tax on money I've brought in, and never had to file a tax return

You don't need to offer me good luck, I've never used a visa agent in the 18 years I've been here! For me it's the 65k monthly transfers - no brainer

All DTAs, Article 4

@Peter *********

Yep. 180 days, the DTA cuts in and then determines tax residency. People undertaking courses in Thailand as a tourist are not going to be taxed. Period

And the way Bangkok Bank auditors have been ploughing through the records and freezing accounts, good luck with that one
