Can foreigners legally volunteer at a wat (temple) in Thailand?

Tim *********

You can make merit. You can't usually volunteer for any work a Thai could do. Too many businesses would take advantage, use free foreign labour instead of paying Thais

Are expats on a retirement visa required to pay taxes in Thailand?

Tim *********

I don't need to think it through, Jeff, as I won't be doing drugs deals or gambling. More fool anyone who does. Fact remains, money you bring into Thailand is taxable if you're here 180 days plus. The only way to reduce the tax payable is to show you've already paid tax at home.

The onus is on you to demonstrate you have already paid tax in another country. If you cannot, then there is nothing to offset the Thai income tax due on it

What are some less smoky places to stay in Thailand during March and April for someone moving to Chiang Mai?

@Keith ***********

exactly. I have COPD and of course I wouldn't go in the burning season. I'm told by a friend who spent Songkran in Chiang Mai a couple of years ago, the ash can fall in quite large chunks, so it's not just a matter of a slight burning smell, it could block the lungs of anyone who is sensitive

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
