Question 1

If I read Article 18 correctly, pensions originating in Canada are not taxable in Thailand. Did I read this correctly? Also, am I ever going to need to deal with Thai tax if I remit money to my account in Thailand. I see the statement that any amount over 120K Baht for a single is taxable. I assume that it won't apply to me as I'm not a tax resident of Thailand. Again, am I correct on reading that?

The Canadian / Thai DTA is quite favourable for Thai tax residents. Pensions are only taxable in Canada and for investment capital gains you can use any tax paid in Canada as a credit.
