There are people who run one-man internet based businesses from Thailand, or telecommute for international companies who don't care where their employees are physically based, without a work permit. But the clever ones don't work from somewhere that looks like an office, they don't employ anyone in Thailand, they don't do any business banking in Thailand, they don't send / receive shipments of commercial goods, and they don't tell anyone what they're doing.

If you're really worried that someone might be snooping on your email / web activities in Thailand (as authorities do), use VPN, Tor, etc.
