TLDR : Answer Summary

A German citizen planning to work online for clients in Germany while staying in Thailand for less than 60 days can choose not to draw attention to their work. However, there is a suggestion to apply for a remote work visa specifically designed for freelancers. The contributor expresses concern about potentially attracting attention by bringing multiple laptops and emphasizes their intent to follow local laws while being a guest in the country.

Thank you for your replies so far. I might draw attention when i enter the country with 3 laptops. And to be honest: I don't break laws in "my" country. So i don't want to break any laws in a country i visit as a guest.

For less than 60 days, you just do your remote work and don't draw attention to it.
