I was wondering… What is meant by ‘foreign talent’ in this regard?
The designation seems a bit vague

TLDR : Answer Summary
The term 'foreign talent' in Thailand primarily refers to individuals with specialized skills or expertise that are recognized as beneficial to the country's economy and culture. This includes professionals such as musicians, fitness trainers, and other highly skilled individuals. The designation is somewhat vague and can overlap with terms like 'highly skilled professionals' used by Thailand's BOI (Board of Investment) for visa classifications. Overall, it is aimed at attracting individuals who can contribute positively to Thailand's development.
Last year I attended a two day event hosted by Fitness first (one of the large gym franchises in Bangkok). They hosted a large fitness event in an indoor event centre to promote some new fitness programmes that are produced by a global brand called Les Mills. Anyway they had some rather famous international guest fitness trainer stars from this industry attend the event as presenters to perform on the stage along side FF’s best trainers. Since they represented a global brand they would now qualify as foreign talent for DTV
The definition is highly specialised technicians, scientists, engineers or executives. The salary requirements are lower if you have a Masters or above too for LTR
Well I'm pretty sure it's vague because it covers many different subjects. That's just a guess though.

Probably along the same lines as BOI define it for some of their visas and LTR. They usually use the term "Highly Skilled Professionals" though. "Foreign Talent" term used more in Singapore. This is an immigration document after all.
