Have you any experiences is

according Thai law, is there any demands of Thai state to the outlanding company from where worker is coming to do remote working in Thailand?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the implications of working remotely for an overseas company while in Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). It clarifies that if one holds a DTV visa, they are permitted to work, and there are generally no legal duties for the foreign employer as long as no local office is established.

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are asking if you come to Thailand on a DTV and work remotely for a company outside of Thailand, without setting up an office in Thailand, are there any implications for that company then the answer is no.
