TLDR : Answer Summary

It is possible to work for a US company while holding a Thailand Retirement visa, as Thailand does not impose restrictions on outside employment. However, it is important to secure a re-entry permit if you plan to leave and return to Thailand, especially if you will be traveling multiple times during the year.
