TLDR : Answer Summary
Obtaining a volunteer visa for Thailand has become increasingly challenging due to misuse, making it difficult to acquire. In contrast, securing a working visa is relatively straightforward once you have a job offer. The main hurdle is finding employment first, as the visa application process and work permit are typically managed by the employer.

Volunteer visa? Not easy. The most abused visa in the history of Thailand. They now make it nearly impossible to get one because of that.

Working visa? Easy once you have a job. That's the hard part, finding the job.
