Does cleaning your car or gardening on a marriage visa in Thailand count as work?

The discussion revolves around whether simple home maintenance tasks, such as cleaning a car or gardening, constitute working under Thai immigration laws for those on a marriage visa. While most respondents believe that these activities do not count as work and therefore are not a concern for immigration, some caution that any significant work, especially major home renovations, could attract scrutiny. There is a notable emphasis on staying low-key and avoiding activities outside of personal property that might be perceived as work, such as assisting neighbors or engaging in any business activities.
