Question 1

Thailand's tax laws on crypto and capital gains seem to state that this sale or trade of one crypto for another crypto does generate a capital gain and CGT is to be paid. Now, if I do not do this trade on a Thailand Crypto exchange and I do not remit this capital gain into Thailand either onto a Thailand crypto exchange such at Bitkub or into a Thailand bank am I correct in understanding that I will not have to declare or pay capital gain on this non remitted gain?

If it isnt remitted to Thailand, it doesn’t have to be declared as it is not an assessable income source as it is a remittance tax basis.
