That's my belief, Jim. We won't pay more tax, at least not on our pensions that are taxed at source, as mine are in the UK. But we will have a duty to make declarations and claim the existing source deductions.

It sounds like I should have popped out for New Year!

It's not a new law. It's a new interpretation. Instructions from the top to guide local tax inspectors. The click is ticking, in that foreign residents are now required to fill out income declarations, minus deductibles and allowances. So calendar year 2024 will be assessed in 2025 and tax bills will be issued to those who should pay. There are penalties for not submitting the form.

I don't often notice the driver before I realise I have to take evasive action, and that's when I'm on MY bike. I've got no inkling whether foreigners are worse that Thais, I just know my safety is in my hands here because you can't rely on everyone else
