Spending on a foreign card in Thailand may be treated as a remittance. This is because the card draws on overseas funds and the spending takes place in Thailand.

The Revenue Department has not released final rules but large or regular spending shows the use of foreign income within Thailand. A transfer with clear documentation is safer.
