TLDR : Answer Summary

You cannot work on a Non-O visa based solely on marriage; you need to obtain a Work Permit from the Ministry of Labor. If your Non-O visa is based on marriage to a Thai national, you may apply for a Work Permit and work. However, if married to a foreigner also residing in Thailand, you will not be eligible for a Work Permit.

If you mean Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national, you can hold a work permit then work.

If you mean Non-O based on marriage to a foreigner who is legally staying in Thailand, no you cannot hold a work permit.

NO, you need the Work Permit from the Ministry of Labor.

The Non Immigrant O visa based on marriage can be used as your official stay to apply for the Work Permit.
