I'm planning to stay in Thailand over 6 months. Would Thai government try to tax me?
Another wizard on theory, your posts very similar to the originator of all these threads ML, but you have the same issue in understanding. There's a wide gap between theory / letter of the law and reality in Thailand, as I am sure you know, but apparently on this topic don't understand. Reality: - The Thai government will not try to tax this poster -The TRD will have no idea of this posters existence -Thai Immigration has no connection with any expats tax status ( excepting those who file via Non B's who work in Thailand) - There's no enforcement or cross checking vias entries vis a vis tax -The only expats paying tax are those who either work in Thailand on Non -B, OR have spent too time studying the revenue code and ruminating via this forum, feel compelled try and comply with something that 99% of the cohort that theoretically may need to comply, don't, and there is no enforcement. The only way this poster would pay tax is if they did the following: 1- Waited until they had spent over 180 days in a year in TH. Then tried to go to their local RD and apply for a Tax ID. they'd probably be denied a couple of times at first as the local RD would say, "are you working in Thailand" , " You have work permit?", poster would say no, then no TIN would be issued. 2- So then this poster would need to pay a 'expat tax' agency to facilitate a TIN issued for them , maybe drop 5-10K THB to get this privilege. 3- Sometime after March 31 of the year following the year they spent 180 days here, then work with the 'expat tax' agency to submit a return, using allowances etc to determine if in fact any tax was even payable, dropping more $$ for that service. 4- Sometime after that the poster would have the dubious honor and privilege of being one of the 0.1% of expats who voluntarily file a tax return when not working in Thailand - medal issued! -

Thailand's Tourism Surge Threatened by Zero-Dollar Chinese Tours
I know it is scarcasim, traditionally it is local companies who been the buyers of durian from the farmers not "corrupt oligarch-owned monopolies". As said before, with the chinese setting up wharehouses and buying, like zero dollar tours the money made is not kept in Thailand or the local communitys, just like what is happening in the frieght, trucking and courier industry in Thailand now. Farmers get a fair price as per what the market dictates, Thailand is the largest exporter to China with Vietnam coming in second. Thailand’s durian has a very good reputation for quality yet Malaysian durians get a better price due to a wider variety of flavors but cannot match the volume. Thailand will be the major supplier for now, yet they have Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and China's own developing durian farms being developed. If you think they earn more, then you do not understand the industry. I do agree about the monopolies in general, hence why we buy at our local farmers market so the money benfits the growers and is kept local instead of the profits being sent back to monopolies. -

If he asked the police for a stolen item report, then that would have sorted out the WHO-DONE-IT. -

Speaking from experience, he probably should have offered a small social club donation or at least a round of coffees to the BIB for their initial assistance, thus raising his social status. Subsequent visits to the cop shop demoted him to the ranks of annoying Falang and therefore a potential source of leveraged revenue. I'm not saying this is right, but this is Thailand. -

Buying one way tickets with a Re-entry permit
More likely the "visa" is expired/used and what he has is an extension of stay (and associated re-entry permit). Semantics perhaps but it's just as easy to use the correct terminology as not. -
