I am leaving today, infact I booked 1 month ago just for this mess... been a long lurker of this thread, clarity zero. Forget about buying a condo/house or even leasing land as most countries where they tax you based on residency, use exactly that as the proof your "interests" are in fact, in that country (hence they consider you resident there). Also... even if they now backpedal, the damage is done, do you trust Thai govt to never change idea about residency t&c... I think this is a country to come and be here for the smallest amount of time before they start to pluck you out of your money... This country is for tourists, not residents.
Prepare for a huge reprice of land/real estates as soon as, in 2025, people will get notified to pay 2024 taxes, around March... gg and gl.
