Thats correct, to get a work permit you must need the requirements and one of them is a visa that allows you to work inside the Kingdom like the Non Immigrant B visa or O based on marriage.

I've heard or read somewhere that only if you meet the requirements of the extension and work permit you can obtain one.

, nope, no financial requirements

Right now only the thai consulates in Savannakhet and Ho Chi Minh City will issue a year-long multi-entry, Non-O based on marriage without any financial requirements.
