'Foreigners with work-permit, now allowed to work with anything, from anywhere.' [members only]/                  

Is this true? Surely not.

Summary so far

There is confusion regarding the claim that foreigners with work permits in Thailand can work in any job from anywhere. However, commentaries suggest that this topic is not sufficiently connected to Thai visa regulations, and it requires further clarification as discussions on related Thai forums indicate otherwise.
