TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, a work permit can be issued for individuals in Thailand on a non-immigrant type B visa, provided the employer has all the necessary documents. It is important to note that work permits cannot be issued for certain visa types such as educational or retirement visas. The application process must be conducted by the employer at the Ministry of Labor in Thailand.

if your employer has all needed documents - yes Non B and Non O based on marriage or child - it can be issued... it cant be issued on education and retirement visas for example.
