Sounds like you plan to work illegally in Thailand. You will be easy to identify as coming to Thailand for illegal activities.

Your employer needs to sort it out. There are agencies you can go though for domestic employees. But i am not sure how that works. There is a facebook group for Phillipinos in Thailand and probably better searching for that as more likely you will find someone who knows what to do.
