Report Foreign Earnings Taxed Under New Thai Rules - But With Exceptions
Is this why you live in Thailand? Did you tell that to your home country revenue department? And now you are wanted for tax evasion. I would think your home country prison would be more comfortable that the Thai prison that you might be visiting. Tax evasion is a serious crime even in Thailand. Be careful. -

Crime CCTV Footage Shows Foreign Man Breaking into Pattaya Rescue Booth
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A foreign man, described as tall and powerfully built, has been caught on CCTV breaking into a volunteer rescue booth in Pattaya and damaging essential medical equipment, according to police and eyewitness reports. The incident occurred around 21.00 on 19 May at the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation’s Chaiyaphruek outpost, located on Sukhumvit Road, Moo 12, Bang Lamung district, Chonburi. Mr Thawin Siangkong, a 21-year-old volunteer with the foundation, filed a report with Pol. Lt. Buddharak Sonkamhan of Pattaya City Police in the early hours of 20 May, submitting both CCTV footage and a list of damaged property as evidence. The footage reportedly shows a western male prising open the booth’s sliding glass door and rifling through the interior. Items damaged include a power converter, used in emergency defibrillator kits and the booth’s main entrance, which was left cracked and damaged. Mr Thawin told reporters that the volunteers had been dispatched to a road crash at the time of the break-in. Upon returning, they found the glass door broken and the booth ransacked. A review of the CCTV footage revealed the suspect forcing entry and rummaging through the contents. In a surprising twist, the same man allegedly returned to the scene later that night. Volunteers confronted him, but he claimed to have no knowledge of the incident and refused to acknowledge the footage when shown and left the area. “We asked him to look at the CCTV, but he denied everything,” said Mr Thawin. “We couldn’t do anything more, so we reported it to the police.” The volunteer also expressed deep frustration with the situation. “We don’t get paid. We sacrifice our time to help the community, and now we might have to cover the cost of the damage ourselves. It’s disheartening.” The suspect’s identity and nationality remain unknown. Police are currently reviewing the CCTV evidence and are seeking to track down the individual involved. Authorities have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward, while volunteers continue their duties despite the setback. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-05-20. -

Report Foreign Earnings Taxed Under New Thai Rules - But With Exceptions
It seems even the experts are just as confused (per email from Expat Tax). The head of the Revenue Department needs to sit down, discuss with advisors, make an unambiguous decision, and publish it. We've had 21 months of ambiguity, panic, contradictory information from the Revenue Department staff in different offices, or even the same office, most completely untrained in the nuances of DTAs etc. This Thai Examiner article is certainly more detailed than the BP article, which made a confusing situation more confusing. The writer of that one may need to consider another career choice. But none the less, until an unambiguous decision is made (and enacted in law and published in the Royal Gazette), the result of uncertainty that has ensued is now all too visible to see, through the reduction of tax revenue by THB20 Billion. Until it is, that figure could certainly go northwards.
