You'll have to show you're bringing in savings that have already been taxed. It is a grey area, but it is live since 1 January 2024. Suggest you consult an accountant familiar with Thai tax law

It's known very well already. Transfers into Thailand from 1.1.2024 are assessable for Thai income tax. Unless your country's DTA exempts your pension, for example. Even then, any liability to Thai tax can be offset by tax already paid on that money

Already here Neil, with transfers from 1 January 2024 being assessable for Thai tax if your country's DTA doesn't exempt them

In northern mountains in Winter, maybe some nights would be cool enough. But most nights I think you'd still want at least a fan. BTW here at the coast in Chonburi, I manage with just a big ceiling fan in my bedroom. Very rare I need AC on at night

His future in Thailand depends on it. Maybe his friend should just do what he must legally do, and report an alien staying at his address.
