TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can obtain a work permit based on an extension of stay due to marriage to a Thai national, which is what many refer to as a 'marriage visa.' A Non-B visa is not required for this purpose.

and as this isn't thai VISA related in the least we're done..

Yes you can

There is no such thing as a "marriage visa". However, you can get a work permit on an extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national (which I'm assuming you're calling a "marriage visa").

Your employer should apply for WP, not you.

@Jeno ******
that is between you, your employer and the Ministry of Labor that issues the work permit and sadly it is not a thai VISA question :(

Yes, sorry! That is what I meant. I have a multi non-o that I got from the Thai consulate in Australia.

just a bit of confirmation. Are you on amnesty or applied on extension already? Maybe situation could be varied.

Anyway, as
@T**
said, you need to have your employer to check with MOL.

AND you can also hold a work permit on a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage that you got from a thai consulate in another country (the kind where you bounce out and back every 90 days) too :)
