TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking guidance on how to work legally in Thailand, specifically in Phuket. Comments suggest that the user cannot apply for a work permit directly; instead, their employer must initiate the application process. It is emphasized that finding a job is crucial first, as certain positions are reserved for Thai citizens. Various commenters mention that the job market may be challenging, with suggestions for teaching English or working in Indian restaurants as potential options.
On every Thai Embassy website, there’s a list of jobs reserved for Thais. Start there. If all of the jobs you’re qualified to do are on that list, it may be difficult for you to work in Thailand.

You can't apply for a work permit. Your employer does that.
The first thing you need to find is a job. Your employer can then give you paperwork to apply for a work visa and they will apply for work permit.
housekeepers and managers assistance are a dime a dozen, you won’t be getting a work permit visa in that field of operation, back to the drawing board.
When an employer applies for work permit for a foreign national, can the Thai immigration say there are thousands of Thai nationals who can full fill that job and refuse the application?
the work permit itself, once you have a job, and the paperwork from the company, is bt3800. But understand that if you aren't fluent in speaking and understanding Thai, Laotian, and Burmese, you aren't qualified.
