[00:00:00]The glory of consuming foreign source income tax free in Thailand is gone. And now Thailand is grabbing deeper into foreigners' pockets than ever before.

[00:00:09]Another big reason why visitors and foreign nationals avoid Thailand right now is because of Thailand's new tax laws, especially the tax law surrounding the taxation of foreign source income that is brought into the country by Thailand's tax residents. Now, this is shocking because if you are a foreign national living in Thailand, whether you are on the Thai Elite visa, whether you are a retiree living in Thailand, whether you are on a Smart visa, it doesn't matter which of these visa programs you're on. If you are a tax resident of Thailand and you bring money with you into the country, then guess what? That money is now being taxed. You have to pay income taxes on that money, which was not the case a few years ago.
