Your residence
Thai tax resident in the year you bring the money in (180 days or more)? The rule can apply. Not resident that year? Money brought in is generally not taxed in Thailand.

MONEY FROM ABROAD
Is the money you bring to Thailand taxed?
Since 2024, sometimes. It depends on three things: your residence, when the money was earned, and your tax treaty.
When the money was earned
Money earned from 1 January 2024 is caught by the rule. Savings from before 2024 are not taxed when you bring them in, if you can prove when the money was earned.
Your tax treaty and your visa
Thailand has tax treaties with many countries: tax paid abroad can sometimes be credited. Some LTR visa categories can be exempt on money from abroad.
Before your next large transfer
Keep savings from before 2024 in a separate account, keep your bank statements, and ask us before you move a large amount.
