Labor laws in many countries I’ve looked at don’t specifically address remote workers employed abroad and those that have permit it because it doesn’t threaten local employment, which is the whole purpose of having the laws in the first place. Thailand seems to be following this example which is why they’ve been so relaxed about giving out 5 year visas that explicitly permit remote work from overseas employers. Be careful of all the alarmist crap you’ll read on forums like Thaivisa. I challenge people to find a single case where a foreigner in Thailand was deported or charged for working online for a foreign employer where they were paid in a foreign bank account. Be far more concerned about things like overstays, which they do take seriously.
