NO! You may get taxed if you stay more than 180 days. But is based on income.

Thailand is a big country, why you all think that Thailand is only Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai?

Personally, i think Thailand is NOT for everyone: many DTV holders after some months will reconsider living only in Thailand all year...and many already just wanted to stay 3 to 6 months a year to avoid the summer and to pay taxes

@Marcus *****
TRUE! Even in Bangkok there's a BIG difference of prices based on areas. There's many areas where you barely see a foreigner and the prices here are waaaaaay cheaper than the most touristic and affluent ones

I'm sorry but with DTV you can't have a "forever home" yet, is 5 year, who knows if you may be able renew it? I saw so many discussions about buying condo and the 99% of people suggested to NOT buy.

@Rob ********
now is a foreigner problem if thai people are not getting paid well?

@Jeff *****
these wealthy foreigners didn't need the DTV. They live in "rich" areas. They don't go in the "average thai" area. Try to go in Bangkok in many "suburban" areas and you will rarely see a foreigner.

mhh but the visa is not printed inside the passport? I did a dtv in presence and they give me that and a receipt. Should i conserve the receipt too?
Martino *******
this is sad but true, if you have a low value passport the treatment is different.
