Good Evening Sirs/Madams. 

Since long time, I was living in Bangkok but, in this semester, my boss is sending me to work in a different City which is little bit far from Bangkok. But, I have an idea to live in Bangkok and go for work there. 

Hence. My question is whether it would be legally Problem? Since I would be applying Visa from my work place but stay in Bangkok. Please, advise me kindly.

You apply for the work permit at the Ministry of Labor in the district where your work place is registerd. You apply for the Extension of Stay at the Immigration Office in the district that your address is registerd.

Isn't that Samut Sakhon? It seems EXTREMELY reasonable that a lot of people work there but want to live in Bangkok, since you're so close to it.
