the thailaw ruels that this offshore income is tacxable in thailand as soon as you bring it to thailand in the year when the profit was made.

if you send this profit from your offshore to thailand on the 1. of january i.e. it can mot be made in this year.
this money is COMPLETELY and legal TAX FREE !!!

so there are indeed other factors than only sun and happyness what are speaking for thailand.
