Yes, if you spend 180 days a year in Thailand you are a tax resident. If you're spending 6 months total here, just spend a week or two less to ensure you don't cross that 180 day threshold.

Ah, thank you. Somehow I missed that, caught up in the panic with everyone else I guess!

So does this mean if our income is tax-exempt according to law in our home countries, it will remain tax exempt here? Or does this mean mean it will be taxed.

I am in somewhat of a different position because of my VA disability - that is non taxable income, so I can't prove I've paid taxes on it. I read the US - Thailand DTA, it was clear on Social Security. But I couldn't quite make out if my non-taxable VA disability payments would be taxable pension income in Thailand.
