Question 1

I have funds in GBP held in a GBP Bangkok Bank account that were transferred in GBP before 1 January 2024. As and when those funds are exchanged from GBP to THB and transferred to my Bangkok Bank THB account during 2024, will those THB remain free of Thai Tax?

The date of remittance (transfer to Thailand) is when the funds were sent to Bangkok Bank. As this was before January 2024 then this is the date you use, if you convert the currency afterwards then that does not affect or impact this.
