TLDR : 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.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

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.
