If you are working in Thailand full time, why do you want to avoid Thai income tax? Regardless of where your employer is, or whether or not you have an employer, as long as you work, and stay full time in Thailand when doing so, for 6 months a year, then there is really no reason to avoid Thai income tax. Why is this a concern at all? It is a concern only if Thailand decides to tax your savings. But so far, there is no indication it is going to do so. Remember, your pension is your savings, not your income. Though this may be different in some countries where your pension is actually not your savings, but somebody else' current tax payment.

If she had common sense, she would not have touched cocaine. Possessing cocaine in Thailand and may be in any of the neighboring countries will make sure she stays years in prison or hanged straightaway.

Companies like Google and Amazon etc are already paying local taxes for services consumed locally. For example, if there is sales tax in your country, you are already seeing this in your invoice. It is currently not a norm to tax retirees for money remitted from overseas. But a few years later, it may become a norm. But before that, it should be a norm to tax NON-RETIREES for money they remit from outside. They are getting income. This income HAS TO BE TAXED. Who are these non-retirees? * Youtubers * digital "nomads" * those doing streaming to sell goods (especially Chinese who do streaming in Thai hypermarkets and night markets illegally to sell goods in China) * those who buy goods from outside and sell in Thailand and vice versa through chat services Retirees generally have no income. To tax them for their savings should be something done later, if it is ever done. Any taxation decision made by Thailand will not depart from this principle.

Basically, only if a person pays rent every month, or every year, then it is a lease. This is legal. If the person pays 30 years of rent in one go, this is called a purchase, and it is illegal. You can sign a 30 year lease, but if you pay for it upfront, you are a criminal.
