Beskrivelse

Why do tourists pay more than locals at Thai national parks, temples, and museums? In this episode, Pear from Siam Legal explains how dual pricing actually works in Thailand, why it's legal at most official attractions, and how it differs from informal tourist overcharging at places like tuk-tuks and beach rentals. Pear also covers what foreign residents can do if they're paying tourist prices despite living, working, and paying taxes in Thailand, including what identification might get you the local rate and which questions are actually worth asking at the ticket counter. ย  ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐“๐ก๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐'๐ฌ ๐‹๐จ๐ง๐ -๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ฒ ๐•๐ข๐ฌ๐š ๐Ž๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ข ๐ŸŒ https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/thailand-privilege-visa.html [https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/thailand-privilege-visa.html] ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ-๐˜›๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต (๐˜“๐˜›๐˜™) ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ข ๐ŸŒ https://www.siam-legal.com/ltr-visa-thailand/ [https://www.siam-legal.com/ltr-visa-thailand/] ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐‘œ๐˜ฏ ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ข (๐˜‹๐˜›๐˜) ๐ŸŒ https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/dtv-visa-thailand.php [https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/dtv-visa-thailand.php] ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ช ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ข ๐ŸŒ https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/Thailand-Retirement-Visa.php [https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/Thailand-Retirement-Visa.php] ย  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: info@siam-legal.com Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ [https://www.siam-legal.com/] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: ๐Ÿ“ŒFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ [https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/] https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/๐Ÿ“ŒInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ [https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/] https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/๐Ÿ“ŒX: https://x.com/SiamLegal [https://x.com/SiamLegal] https://x.com/SiamLegal๐Ÿ“ŒTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal [https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal] https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal๐Ÿ“ŒLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/] https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/๐Ÿ“ŒYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal [https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal]

10,000 Visas Revoked: Inside Thailand's Crackdown on Visa Abuse

Thailand is cracking down on visa abuse, and nearly 10,000 student visa holders have already had their permits revoked. In this episode, Pear from Siam Legal breaks down the crackdown on fake schools and education visa fraud, the corruption investigation involving over 100 immigration officers, and the new monthly reporting system schools must now follow to keep their visa sponsorship. If you're in Thailand on a student visa but not genuinely enrolled, your legal status could be at risk. Pear also covers which long-term visa options, including the LTR, Elite, Retirement, and DTV visas, might actually fit your situation better. ย  ๐‘๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐“๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐œ๐ฌ: Thailand Elite Visa (September 2025) Official Partner: ๐ŸŒ https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/thailand-privilege-visa.html [https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/thailand-privilege-visa.html] LTR Visa Thailand Certified Agency: ๐ŸŒ https://www.siam-legal.com/ltr-visa-thailand/ [https://www.siam-legal.com/ltr-visa-thailand/] Retirement Visa Thailand: ๐ŸŒ https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/Thailand-Retirement-Visa.php [https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/Thailand-Retirement-Visa.php] DTV Visa Thailand 2025: ๐ŸŒ https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/dtv-visa-thailand.php [https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/dtv-visa-thailand.php] ย  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: info@siam-legal.com Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ [https://www.siam-legal.com/] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: ๐Ÿ“ŒFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ [https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/] https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/๐Ÿ“ŒInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ [https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/] https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/๐Ÿ“ŒX: https://x.com/SiamLegal [https://x.com/SiamLegal] https://x.com/SiamLegal๐Ÿ“ŒTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal [https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal] https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal๐Ÿ“ŒLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/] https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/๐Ÿ“ŒYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal [https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal]

How To File Taxes in Thailand in 2026

If you're an expat living in Thailand, the tax rules just got a lot more complicated โ€” and most people don't know it yet. In this episode, Chiara from Siam Legal breaks down everything you need to know: why foreign income you bring into Thailand is now taxable, how the 180-day rule determines your tax residency regardless of your visa, and what the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa can (and can't) protect you from. You'll also learn how Thailand's participation in the global Common Reporting Standard means your overseas accounts may already be visible to Thai authorities โ€” and what to do about it before tax season. ย  Related Topic: https://www.siam-legal.com/Business-in-Thailand/thailand-accounting.php [https://www.siam-legal.com/Business-in-Thailand/thailand-accounting.php] ย  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: info@siam-legal.com Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ [https://www.siam-legal.com/] ย  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: ๐Ÿ“ŒFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ [https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/] https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/๐Ÿ“ŒInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ [https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/] https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/๐Ÿ“ŒX: https://x.com/SiamLegal [https://x.com/SiamLegal] https://x.com/SiamLegal๐Ÿ“ŒTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal [https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal] https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal๐Ÿ“ŒLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/] https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/๐Ÿ“ŒYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal [https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal]

How We Saved a Phuket Expat Thousands in Thai Taxes

In this episode, Chiara from Siam Legal presents a practical analysis of cross-border financial planning under the Revenue Departmentโ€™s strict tax regulations on foreign-sourced income. The discussion examines a real-world case study involving an expat resident in Phuket who faced substantial tax exposure after remitting overseas savings for a local property transaction. It details how the firm's legal team successfully mitigated the client's liability to zero by performing a comprehensive tax residency audit, establishing the acquisition timeline of the capital gains prior to residency status, and leveraging specific provisions within the relevant Double Taxation Agreement (DTA). ย  Related Topic: https://www.siam-legal.com/Business-in-Thailand/thailand-income-tax-for-foreigners.php [https://www.siam-legal.com/Business-in-Thailand/thailand-income-tax-for-foreigners.php] ย  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: info@siam-legal.com Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ [https://www.siam-legal.com/] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: ๐Ÿ“ŒFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ [https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/] https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/๐Ÿ“ŒInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ [https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/] https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/๐Ÿ“ŒX: https://x.com/SiamLegal [https://x.com/SiamLegal] https://x.com/SiamLegal๐Ÿ“ŒTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal [https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal] https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal๐Ÿ“ŒLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/] https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/๐Ÿ“ŒYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal [https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal]
