TLDR : Answer Summary

To work in Thailand, you must obtain the correct visa and a work permit. You cannot secure a work permit from outside of Thailand; it must be arranged by your employer who will provide you with the necessary documentation to apply for your work visa at a Thai consulate. For those considering vacationing in Thailand, a tourist visa may be required.

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.

you cannot get a work permit outside of thailand.

The place you are going to work for provides you documentation that you take to a thai consulate and apply for the visa
