Not visa related moved to the business forum.

Social fund payments are 5% of your gross monthly income, capped at a maximum of 750 baht per month.

As mentioned the 750 is your SS payment usually matched equally by the company. If that is all that is being deducted from 35,000/month then you will have a large tax bill when filing. Here are two places to look at. The first is the revenue department and detailing personal taxes and the 2nd is an online tax calculator.

Your annual income tax would be 10,500 baht or 875 baht a month, assuming you are not married, you don't have children or claim anything other than the most basic of allowances and deductions.

The min salary is required for the visa extension, not for the work permit.

So if I have a work permit with 30,000 THB salary I cannot get "visa extension"? What visa would I need with work permit.

1-Extension is dependent on salary and home country (according to previous posted claims)

2-Non B

Wrong I was a teacher for 3 years with 37,000 per month. Each year out of the 9,000 roughly paid in out I receive about 4500 back as a refund check.

There is an exemption for teachers so you don't really have a dog in this fight.

Yes, if they want to get a 1 year extension based on a non immigrant B visa...

However they more than likely use the Non-LA or other similar migrant worker scheme that exist specially for manual workers from neighbouring countries.

You can also have a work permit based on a Non immigrant O visa/extension of stay for the purpose of marriage.
