Agreed. If you did want to leave to avoid being a tax resident during the large medical expense that would only sometimes be possible based on the timing.
For example in the seventh month of a stay in Thailand you did the remittance, you would owe the next year regarless.
Some might be tempted to just leave Thailand altogether. So then it would be down to ENFORCEMENT. Would/could Thailand go after such people after they've left if they have nothing left in Thailand? I don't know. But one thing they COULD eventually do is to require tax clearances to leave. In which case in the medical crisis example, the survivor if they couldn't pay could end up in Thai prison for not paying.
Big fun!
Off your rocker,I'm right here in thailand.pity really just how many you influenced into going frozen,but I estimate you personally are losing well over £6600 a year
