if you spend more than 180 days in Thailand in a calendar year, you are a Thai tax resident.

It doesn't matter if you have a bank account.

Your visa status doesn't matter. You could overstay a 60 day visa exempt, once you hit 180 days, you are a tax resident.

you may not have to file if you sent less than 500,000 baht into Thailand in 2024.

The new card can only be filled out 3 days or less before arrival in Thailand.

Plenty of time.

But, I would just rebook my BBK-KKC ticket.

I have my own condo, so I do my own TM-30, once in a while.

The problem comes when I stay in a hotel overnight, and then come back to my condo. Sometimes I forget to re-do the TM-30 for a few days.

You are correct about motorcycle helmet laws enforcement.

the only danger is Immigration requiring a tax return for visa renewal.

Even then, I don't think that the Revenue Department will bother to check past years to see if the Farang has been a tax resident.

"investment returns" = "capital gains". Your marginal rate on "investment returns" in your country may be lower than in Thailand. If so, you would have to make up the difference.

I am talking theory. In reality, most people won't file.
