Does an employment contract for a DTV visa need to specify 'remote' work, or is 'home based' acceptable?

Seeking advice please. Does your employment contract need to state ‘remote’ work for a DTV visa or would ‘home based’ suffice?

TLDR : Answer Summary
For obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand, your employment contract must explicitly state that you are working remotely. While the term 'home based' might convey a similar meaning, it is advisable to use 'remote' or 'remote work in Thailand' to ensure compliance with visa regulations. Moreover, the contract should indicate that you will not engage in any local employment with Thai businesses or individuals.

Anonymous participant 909 not true. i did not have to do that. it is probably good idea to have it but for sure i did not have anywhere in my application about remote work or permissions to work from Thailand.(LA consulate)
