Moving crypto between wallets is not a remittance. There is no tax charge until crypto is converted into fiat or sold on a Thai exchange.

The tax trigger arises when you convert crypto into baht or another fiat currency and the funds enter Thailand. Selling crypto on a Thai exchange creates a taxable event at the point of sale. See our digital asset guidance for more detail.

Thailand currently uses a remittance-based tax system. You will only be taxed if you sell the crypto in a Thai tax year, realise a gain, and remit the proceeds to Thailand.
