U.S. expatriates in Thailand might have to pay taxes in Thailand. This depends on their income sources, residency status, and how long they stay. Thailand taxes people based on their residency and where their income comes from. Expats who stay in Thailand for 180 days or more in a year are considered tax residents and must pay taxes on their foreign sourced income remitted to Thailand. Those who don’t meet this residency requirement only pay taxes on the income they make in Thailand. The US/Thai DTA sets out how certain assets are taxed for residents in Thailand and certain exclusions, like US social security.
