TLDR : Answer Summary

To cancel your work permit in Thailand, you do not need approval from your current employer as you can self-cancel it. However, when it comes to canceling your extension of stay, you may need to provide documentation from your employer, as some have experienced difficulties without it.

Tod *********

For your work permit no. You can self cancel that, and then in theory you should be able to go and cancel your extension based on you no longer holding a work permit BUT I have seen people need documentation from their employer to actually get their extension canceled.
