What type of visa should I get for a 2-3 month stay in Thailand while working as a consultant?
I am looking to come to Thailand (Hua Hin) for 2-3 months on a US passport to see if I then want to return to live. I will rent a condo or Villa. My question is I am a consultant so work from home but do travel fairly often to visit clients and do seminars. So, during my 2-3 month stay I would likely travel in and out of Thailand 4-5 times (Hong Kong, Dubai, Vietnam, etc.). Is this going to cause me potential problems with immigration. Thoughts and recommendations appreciated.

Not sure you can legally work in Thailand 🇹🇭 on a tourist visa????

@Richard *****
can if non-Thai clients and non-Thai business. You're allowed to maintain your business while being a tourist. Really depends on the nature of the work. Still probably best not to draw attention to yourself as this is not officially permitted. Bit of a grey area.
