@Jim **********

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

What is the best way to extend my visa in Thailand while staying at a friend's condo without an official rental?

@Michael ******

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.

If the house owner will not file TM30 you need to contact Immigration Office for advice. You won't get an extention if you are not registered at an address via TM30

What visa options are available for moving to Thailand and starting a business?

Nadia I'm sorry, people are right when they say you can't easily do what you want to do, to live in Thailand. You might find jobs as English teachers if you get a TEFL qualification, but teachers are not well paid here.
