TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for a Non-Immigrant B Visa for work in Chiang Mai (CNX), your employer will need to apply for your Work Permit through the Ministry of Labor. You'll require proper documentation from your employer to submit your visa application. Depending on your nationality, you may need to apply either from your home country or at a nearby Thai consulate. If you've faced visa denials previously, as long as you have the right documentation, this should not affect your Non-Immigrant B Visa application.

I don't work for the United Nations but I'll hazard a guess you would need to apply for the Tourist visa in Bangladesh.

you need a JOB before you can apply for the non-immigrant type B visa. You should apply for a tourist visa, come here FIND a job then take the documentation back to a thai consulate in your country and apply for the Non-B visa..

You cannot get a Tourist visa in Thailand to start. You need to apply in your own country or a nearby country that would issue you one. Without looking at every consulate and Embassy in SE Asia, I doubt you can get one.

For some odd reason - We were denied a tourist visa previously, is this a problem?

it shouldn't be a problem if you have the correct documentation from your employer to get the 90 Non-B

You get documentation from the company you're going to work for and depending on your nationality you either go back to your country OR you go to a thai consulate in a nearby country and get a 90 day Non-Immigrant Type B visa.

Your Employer applies for the Work Permit at the Ministry of Labor and with documentation of this and documents of the Employer you can apply for the Non Immigrant B visa. You're Employer should help you throughout the whole process.
