The salary is taxable if remitted to Thailand, but only if remitted.
This is dependent on the source of the income. You may be able to use tax credits on the salary in Israel, but this is dependent on the terms of the DTA and the actual asset.
There is no rule within the Income Tax law in Thailand on credit card use, unlike other countries such as Singapore and the UK. This creates a problem as it becomes open to interpretation. It is important to consider whether overseas credit card transactions are within the spirit of the tax law, and what they are being used for. If it is to circumvent tax, it will be looked through and trated as remitted income. Ultimately, it is up to the tax payer to follow the remittance tax rules in Thailand and keep good records.
