Thailand Targets Eight Million European Tourists for Record 2024
You're assuming that there will be a constant increase, numbers are not even back to 2019 levels. As we've seen in the past any number of factors can negatively impact tourism in any given year. Global financial factors, health crisis, conflicts. etc etc. Also worth remembering the higher growth markets are closer to home and typically of shorter stay duration so it may not reflect a massive rise in numbers here at any one time. The Indian and Chinese markets have increased the lower low season months without dramatically increasing the traditional high season months. -

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
They were and I think most sentient retirees were aware of this.However given that inward transfers were fungible and (a) earnings from previous years were not taxable and (b) no checks were ever made which years transfers related to and (c) no system for making checks existed and (d) the TRD wasn't interested - the vast majority of non working retirees without Thai income did not file tax returns.Many including myself tried to keep in mind it would be best not remit current income.But it wasn't a big deal if one did and certainly the idea of submitting a tax return never entered the mind.All changed now of course. So I don't think many people in the category I described were submitting tax returns in the past.Can I prove it ? No other than anecdotally and the application of common sense.I put this matter to a senior foreign tax/accountancy guy (well known firm) and he agreed my assessment - though making the point that the situation has now changed. I'm aware that a few people submitted returns to claim back interest on savings.One struggles to understand why they would want to enter the tax system for miserable financial returns given the interest rates payable - but perhaps they had astronomical holdings. There is a certain sort of person that loves to have every remote possibility covered.They derive pleasure from completing and submitting tax returns even when there was no real need.Even more they enjoy the virtuous feeling and the potential ability to rebuke others for their shortcomings/incomprehension.It takes all sorts. Anyway the matter is excellently covered in the recent PWC tax publication for which there is a link elsewhere.Pay attention to that and not to people like me and certainly not the Eeyores out there. -
