TLDR : Answer Summary

The general consensus is that you can qualify for a workdation visa in Thailand by working remotely for a company based in a different country, without the need to work for a company in your home country.

You can qualify, as most people do, by working remotely for different companies in different countries. It doesn't need to be your company in your country.
