Invoices, receipts and Thai tax invoices
These documents describe different events: requesting payment, acknowledging receipt, or meeting VAT-document rules.
General invoice
It requests payment and states commercial terms before payment. This site's template is a communication document and explicitly is not a tax invoice.
Receipt
It records that money was received or a claim was settled. The Thai Revenue Code defines a receipt and sets out issuance duties in sections 103–129, including sections 105 and 105 bis. Applicability must be checked for the actual transaction.
Tax invoice
A VAT tax invoice has minimum particulars under section 86/4. Showing a VAT amount on a general template does not by itself make the document compliant.

These locally processed templates do not certify legal, tax, payment or delivery status. Check the counterparty's requirements and obtain professional advice where the document affects rights or money.
