ORIGINAL POSTER

I need some information regarding a non-O visa for the purpose of volunteering. I’m from the US and will be using the consulate in NYC. Below is a screenshot of requirements from their website. I can get an invitation letter from the host organization. 

Will I need a work permit once inside Thailand? 

And what are the financial requirements? 

Since it’s 90 days at a time is a border bounce required or just immigration check-in?

This is where I get confused. Any and all info regarding a non-O visa with the purpose of volunteering would be greatly appreciated. Even any info not related to the questions I asked would be helpful. Thanks!!!
