Working online

I read the Stickman site some guy mentioned here last week and there's a question someone asked about working online and needing a work permit the answer is "Sunbelt Legal responds: Working online is a grey area. Thai law states that you must have a work permit to work in Thailand but as it is difficult to tell that you are working, they may not actually enforce it. The tax code says that if you live in Thailand more than 6 months a year then you must pay tax but it is rarely enforced and difficult to do. The local tax people may reject the payment as there is no work permit."

That's Thailand for you. No clear rules on much of anything, and the law means whatever the cop standing in front of you tells you it means.
