The Thai Department of Employment issued an announcement on March 6, 2015, declaring the types of work-related activities that are not classified as “work” under Thailand’s Alien Working Act B.E. 2551 (2008).¹

With immediate effect, the following activities will not require application for a work permit:

1. Attending a meeting, conference, or seminar;
2. Attending an exhibition or trade fair;
3. Taking part in a business meeting or business negotiations;
4. Attending a special lecture or academic lecture;
5. Attending lectures as part of training or technical training;
6. Purchasing goods at a trade fair;
7. Attending a Board of Directors meeting at one’s own company.

As explained on the KMPG webpage that is only applicable to people traveling to here for those activities.

You can be sure you would be expected to have a non-b visa.also.

The Thai version doesn't mention visas, other than if they have the intention of entering g Thailand to do these activities then for the sake of clarity under the rules these activities won't be defined as work. Edited April 11, 2015 by samran
