@Al ***
 that is absolutely not true. You can only work remotely on 2 specific visas. A DTV issued for workation and the LTR Remote Worker visa, why do you think these visas were introduced?

If you want to work remotely then you need to apply using the workation option. The soft power options don't give permission to work remotely. You can sign up to a gym independently

Which embassy should I choose for my Thai visa application, Hanoi or Vientiane?

As you are applying for a Non-O visa it shouldn't make much difference to you. Apply for the visa, meet the requirements and get the visa

Anonymous participant in my view, which I tried to give above, is that it is not. You don't have permission to work remotely from Thailand.
