Hi. Can someone please share if "Employment Prohibited" is a common remark for the Workcation category ?

Sharing a screenshot from my Visa.
Answer summary
The remark "Employment Prohibited" is commonly found in the Workcation visa category in Thailand. It indicates that the visa holder cannot engage in work for Thai entities or clients while physically present in Thailand, though remote work for overseas employers is generally allowed.

Yes that's correct very few embassies state how you applied in the remarks. So you have a standard DTV like nearly everyone else
