@Andy ***********

if you don't have a Thai bank account, how do you remit funds for living in Thailand? I guess you could send it via Western Union.

Nope. Thai tax law doesn't care if you are a tax resident in 10 other countries, you do the 179+ days in Thailand, you are a Thai tax resident.

if you reside in Thailand for more than 179 days in one year in Thailand, you are a Thai tax resident, regardless of your tax status in other countries.

The burden is on you to prove you don't owe taxes. The way you prove you don't owe is by filing a Thai tax return.

In 2024, you collected capital gains in the US and remitted some or all of those earnings to Thailand. That was a taxable event - even though your initial investment was made years ago.

You are misinformed. The point of the US-Thai DTA is to give US citizens living in Thailand a tax credit (taxes already paid in the US,), not to absolve them completely from paying Thai taxes.

Not true.

For example Long Term Capital gains are taxed at 15% in the US, but are taxed as ordinary income in Thailand. But this is all getting into the weeds, when the bottom line is you're not going to file a Thai tax return.

if you can prove it to the Thai tax authorities.

You would have had to be clairvoyant in early 2024 to set aside 2023 money to remit to Thailand.
