There are two Offices serving the Pattaya area - Naklua and Jomtien.  Although a Revenue Department webpage states one can obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) or file an income tax return at any Revenue Office location, from reports received both Naklua and Jomtien Revenue Offices will require you to use the office that has jurisdiction for the area where you reside.

English is limited, so you may wish to take a Thai speaker with you if you visit either office.  We include Expat reports on their experience at these two offices. If you visit either office, please tell us about your experience by sending an email to info@pcec.club.

Naklua Revenue  Office 

The Office is located in the Banglamung District Office next to the Banglamung Police Department.

Walk into the main entrance and go immediately into the hallway on the left. The first door on the right is the Revenue Office.

Report dated on 13 January 2025 - Before arriving, he downloaded the Application for Thai Tax ID Number form and filled it out using Google Translate (Form is in Thai). He provided copies of the following documents (sign each copy and bring originals):

Current Passport with a valid visa or visa exemption.

He notes he was in and out in less than 10 minutes (no waiting) with my new Thai TIN. He noted that the TIN is not the same as my pink ID number.

Report dated on 10 February 2025 - To get a TIN, they now want to see all your documents to calculate any taxes owed. The report included a photo of a sign they have posted:
