Indeed, perhaps so. I expect they will adopt the principle that the tax payer should self-report. But then if they think you're not reporting all your purchases and can withdrawals, they'd throw the book when your records from your home bank or card issuer arrive
easy you'd need to show them your tax records from your home country. This is why our Thai banks, starting with Kasikorn, are collecting our tax reference numbers
Note that using a credit card or debit card to buy things, and to draw cash, is bringing money into Thailand just as surely as transferring money into a Thai bank account.
Can anyone tell me why there are so many miserable farangs in Pattaya? And how many times do I have to tell you, it's not a visa it's an (extention of an) entry stamp 🤔😉
