Can anybody explain below mentioned condition for work permit issuance.. TIA.

The Thai Work Permit can be granted to expatriates who satisfy any or most of the following conditions:

"An expatriate who has an income and duty to pay personal income tax to the Revenue Department of equivalent or more than 18,000 Baht, or already paid personal income tax in the past year of equivalent or more than 18,000 Baht."
Answer summary
The Thai Work Permit can be issued to expatriates who meet certain criteria, especially concerning income tax. Specifically, to qualify, an expatriate must have an income that meets or exceeds 18,000 Baht in personal income tax obligations to the Revenue Department. The community is discussing whether meeting just this condition is sufficient to obtain a work permit or if multiple criteria need to be satisfied.

Are you asking if just paying taxes, being one condition, is enough to get a work permit?

I don't know where you copied this from, but my guess would be that "any or most" should be "all or most" and satisfying one condition would not be enough.
