hello, I am looking to train Muay Thai in Thailand for at least a year but don't want to be tie down to a school before going. Once I'm there I was going to find a school I can train long term. Can I still work remotely with my self employed work in the US with the ED visa? Or will I have to get a DTV? Thanks!
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the possibility of working remotely for their own business in the US while in Thailand on an ED visa, as they plan to train Muay Thai for at least a year without committing to a school initially. Comments highlight that only the DTV and the LTR Foreign Worker visa legally permit remote work in Thailand, although many expatriates work remotely without proper documentation.

There are only 2 visas that legally allow you to work remotely while in Thailand. That's the DTV and the LTR Foreign Worker visa.

But there are tens of thousands of people, if not more, who do it and just don't advertise the fact.
