Read your DTA.  Each one is different.

 

It should specify all the pension types included - state, government, private, other.

No

I have a state pension and a monthly payment from an IRA distribution.  So at this point it seems like "clear as mud" to me.

Easier to go to the office. They are very friendly, speaking English if required and can explain. No lawyer involved.

Actually, I continue to wonder if any local TRD office knows all the details about the new tax interpretation.  If one goes to a local office and gives incorrect information, will the TRD itself allow one to not follow the new regulations?  IMHO none of local offices know all the details yet, let alone DTA details of 61 countries.

Your comment makes me wonder. Since it's not a new law, the officers are well informed. Not necessary to know all DTAs, but to know what is taxable. If you pay too much in Thailand (in your opinion) you'll apply for tax return
