yes i totally understand that most thais in the vast majority of the country do not earn much.
Its just where I live so many of my wife's friends would easily make 200k or more each month, but the authorities seem totally uninterested in looking into their earnings and related tax implications. Ive been living here for 22 years and I've never heard of a single case of either anyone filing a tax return or anyone being investigated. I mean counting customers at a market stall is one thing, but a Thai with no registered company and with 20 houses they rent for 30k per month each seems an obvious situation for the tax man to come knocking, but they don't. Just next door to where im sitting right now, there resturant easily takes in 40k per night, but definitely have no company and spend nothing on their business apart from 5 migrant workers on 10k a month each, but the tax man never comes. Its everywhere where i live, i just don't understand it.
