They may have difficulties understanding your Thai pronunciation. "MAE WON"; can you upload a sound file of how you pronounce that? (The way you write it, it looks like Swahili to me)

Since you are new to this forum, here's a friendly nudge: post the link to a text you quote. I'll do it for you this time: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwid1vui74eCAxXH6qQKHTpNCCUQFnoECAkQAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezthairestaurant.net%2Fblog%2Fare-there-health-benefits-of-thai-cuisine%23%3A~%3Atext%3DThai%20food%20is%20packed%20with%2Calso%20provide%20added%20health%20benefits.&usg=AOvVaw1bpGYMRl0SXlSfS9srDx22&opi=89978449 Are you saying that it was not your doctor, but the website of a restaurant in Thailand where you got your information about Thai food being healthy?

Are you sure that the banks in Thailand are routinely reporting direct deposits of inward remittances of pension payments to the Thai Revenue Department?

The credit entries for the pension payments arriving from the UK are listed by my Italian bank with the following text on the monthly bank statement: Terefore, this is obviously a State Pension, not a Government pension.

Wasn't there a news article recently about some government official saying that rice farmers in Thailand should skip one harvest this year because of oversupply?

I'm awfully bad at math and would appreciate your help. How does one calculate these 20%?

After reading your subsequent posts it is now clear to that your tax office put your tranfers to Thailand on the line for assessable income on your tax return. Puzzle solved, and you were happy with that.

If I understand you correctly you sre a forein tax resident in Thailand and during a visit to your local tax office in Thailand some time in the past a tax official asked you how much money you transfer from abroad to Thailand. That was it? What use did the official make of that information?

"money coming into Thailand" is an imprecise term in the context of tax matters. In the unlikely event that a DTA has a section on the taxation of "money coming into Thailand", those rules will apply. Otherwise, the Thai government is free to do as it pleases under its national laws.

Every DTA neans exactly what the text in the DTA says.

It depends on the DTA between Thailand and your country.

It depends on the DTAs of Thailand with the individual countries.

If the DTA between the USA and Thailand says so, then so be it.

Thank you for your clarification. It is good to remember that not all readers of this forum are US Americans or familiar with US-specific jargon and acronyms

@Jenkins9039 did when he posted "Seems clear as mud as the wife translated it." https://aseannow.com/topic/1308279-more-details-on-thai-taxation-of-overseas-income/?do=findComment&comment=18398728

Some of the 17 documents plus "others" in the long list of documents issued by the Khon Khaen immigration office obviously go under the heading "In the case of spouse, the relationship must be de jure and de facto" . Since asking for a video showing the applicant for the extension of stay having vaginal intercourse with his wife would obviously be going a bit too far, the listing of a child in the wife's house registration book (No. 9 in the list) indicating the applicant as the child's father counts as additional evidence of the marriage being de facto.

It is unkind of you to blame your wife, with whom you presumably mean your wife, for it. The member who kindly posted a partial English translation clearly stated that it was a "translation from Google"

Yes, it is, as far as the Thai text goes, but it obviously does not cover a faulty and incomprehensible English translation.

This explanation is not acceptable and is completely false. An ATM fee, nor any fee of any bank, is "essentially the same as tax"

Check Thailand's DTA with your country. Not all DTAs are equal.

In the context of income taxation, there is income, there is assessable income, and there is taxable income. Not all income is necessarily assessable income, and not all assessable income is necessarily taxable income.

I suspect that there has been an error in translation. Machine translators — Google Translate, ChatGPT, Google Bard, etc — have a problem with the translation of Thai numerals.

From the news article liked to in the OP: ...the new rule is in the Revenue Department Order No. P.363/2017 regarding payment of income tax according to Section 47, paragraph two of the Revenue Code, dated September 15, 2023, Isn't there something wrong with the quoted number 363/2017?

The link https://www.rd.go.th/english/38306.html you posted does not lead to the "tax code", ie not to the Revenue Code, but to an undated Advisory Notice of the Revenue Department on a web page with the footnote "Last updated: 19.10.2017". For all we know, this Advisory Note may be covered by Section 2 of the new Revenue Department Order, which reads as follows:
