A visa exempt entry is not a long stay. If you are coming from your home country and have a return ticket you should be fine

Can I apply for a DTV visa as a digital nomad in Thailand without any clients?

John **********

The digital nomad option is for remote work and you would not be doing that. You could try one of the soft power options. Alternatively and depending on your plans it might be worth looking at the SMART Startup visa?

Why was my DTV visa application rejected despite meeting the financial criteria?

John **********
