TLDR : Answer Summary

To teach legally in Thailand, you cannot solely rely on a Non O visa; you also need a work permit. Many teachers work in Thailand with the appropriate documentation, so it's important to ensure compliance with legal requirements.

NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.

You can not teach legally. And I will not advise doing something illegally. BUT.. Many teachers in Thailand are teaching with proper paperwork.

To teach legally you will need a non-b + work permit. You will want to to get help with the paper work for the non-b. There are few different types of non-b. I am not that familiar but it's something like. Non-b retirement, non-b education, non-b marriage. The "Non-B" is kinda of dumb name.. It only means "Non Business " Visa. Most visa you get are non-b.

The Non O can by given with several reasons, like marriage to a Thai, retired, volunteer, dependent, children etc, Not all of those allow you to work in combination with the work permit. If married to a Thai National it is no problem, maybe better option is to apply for the Non Immigrant B visa and get the work permit.

Your employer should apply for the work permit, on what basis did you get the Non O visa?
