TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, if you are on a Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage to a Thai national or for raising children, you can apply for a work permit without needing to switch to a Non-B visa.

If you are on a Non-O visa/extension based on marriage to a thai, OR raising children AND you get a job you can indeed apply for a work permit without switching to a Non-B visa/extension
