I understand that a farang can't even do unpaid work in thailand. Question is, can I do maintenance and renovations on my own condo without getting into trouble?

You're ok, actually I would say you're ok so long as you don't start heavy construction work, painting, tiling etc. no issue.

I would say that you are OK as long as no one complains.

Thai law is sufficiently vague as to make almost any mental or physical activity that isnt life-sustaining potentially illegal.

And this was my initial concern. The fluidity of Thai law seems to be subjective at the least, if not applied with nepotism, graft and as I sometimes suspect, xenophobia. As much as I love being in Thailand, many a time I feel like I'm here walking a tight rope. Maybe this is part of the attraction.
