Do Foreigners on Non-Immigrant O Visas Need an Embassy Letter to Stay in Thailand?
In a PUKHET publication they say this:
"However, all foreigners who reside in the country on another type of visa, in particular Non-Immigrant O visas granted to foreigners married to a Thai woman and in charge of a Thai family as well that business visas, must obtain a letter from their embassy asking permission to stay in the country "
In my opinion it is false but I wanted to check with you.

Answer summary
A post discusses the requirement for foreigners on Non-Immigrant O visas and business visas in Thailand to obtain a letter from their embassy for permission to stay in the country. The consensus among commenters is that this information may be incorrect, as such letters are typically only provided for those using Visa Exempt Entry or Tourist Visas.

First, this article is in French, and not English. Second, the information is being automatically translated. Third, newspapers like to make things as simple as possible.
To my knowledge, this letter is only for tourists on visa exempt or tourist visas.
I'm closing comments.
