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.

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
