Putting together an application for an Non-Imm B visa and one of the requirements is letter(s) of recommendation. 

Any advice on what should be in said letters? Is there a magical number required or does one suffice?

Answer summary

When applying for a Non-Imm B visa, particularly based on employment, it's essential to provide letters of recommendation as part of your application. Typically, one comprehensive letter on company letterhead is often sufficient, addressing your name and intended position. However, in this case, your company has requested multiple letters, ideally highlighting positive working relationships in a freelance capacity. It's suggested that the more letters you provide, the better your chances may be, reflecting the Thai preference for thorough documentation.

It's the company itself that is asking me for the letter(s) for the application, in their words "recommended letter or certificate employee" and in a follow up email they said "the letter of recommendation would be someone noting that partnering with you in freelance has been a formidable affair or that alike" with a further note that "more the number of letters that matter."

It probably goes without saying that English is not their first language :)

These are the documentation requirements from the thai consulate in Kuala Lumpur for the 3 different reasons they issue Non-Immigrant Type B visas.

It seems these are the documents most consulates require;

Most of the time if you are getting a Non-B based on employment, you just need a cover letter on the company letterhead addressed to the consulate you're going to stating your name, the position you will have and asking that the consulate issue you a Non-B visa.
