I know, that's why I posted that comment, it wasn't a question.

And the same rules apply for the export of foreign currency, USD15k or more, or other currencies in excess of THB 450k in value. 

Great answer to a question that no one asked.

"BRINGING CURRENCY INTO OR OUT OF THAILAND

Any person who brings or takes an aggregate amount of foreign currency exceeding USD20,000 or its equivalent out of or into Thailand shall declare such amount of foreign currency to a Customs Officer.

Failure to declare upon bringing currency that exceeds the amount restricted by law or its equivalent out of or into Thailand or making any false declaration to a Customs Officer is a criminal offence.

For Thai currency (Baht), any person can bring total amount not exceed THB500,000 to any Thailand’s bounded countries and not exceed THB50,000 to any destination countries.

More than that mentioned amount, you have to declare to a Customs Officer or exchange to others currency before depart from Thailand".

It would have been better if it was up to date and accurate.

My guess would be, they save it up, until tax has to be paid in the specific time of tax paying.

In the meantime, they will give you even a tax ID and then you need to pay.

All banks are in it and shift over registration of the amounts from abroad from everybody.

Wait for the envelope, which will surprise you then.

You know how governments work, they always try to surprise with negative outcome for you.

No one knows now how they would do it, secret surprise.

Just the same as changing the elite visa. They let you know, you can anticipate in time and then changed.

Making it extreme expensive.

 

My guess is that nothing will happen that didn't already happen years ago when you brought taxable income in from abroad in the same year you earned it. 

 

Except now every year is the 'same' year. 

 

Perhaps now we know the Thai meaning of 'same same'.   

Q: Is next year the same as the current (i.e., same) year?

A: Yes, same same.
