Regarding the 90 day reports I believe you have missed then as you likely really do not have a Non Imm O Mulit-Entry Visa
Joe ***********
It does not seem plausible that you were issued a Non Immigrant Multi-Entry O Visa inside Thailand period. You must have a Non Immgrant O Visa with a Multiple Reentry Permit.. not the same as you describe.

Satun Province has two border crossings.. The one most used these days is in the Thale Ban National Park.

The other is at the pier in Satun City - take a boat to Langkawi and back.

Then you are working for an employer that is duely and legally authorized to have foreign employees,in Thailand - not freelancing solo

The new WP Rules still do not allow working Freelance.

The new somewhat relaxed Work Permit actually mean very little in the overall.. You still must have an authorized employer, or you 'own' your own company as a shareholder Director. Then obtain a B Visa.. People who are married to a Thai National and have an O Visa for marriage may also apply for a,WorkPermit.

Same as anyone on a Tourist Visa who is applying for a WP with fully knowledge that they are next applying for a B Visa and will get that B Visa before the WP is awarded... A person on a 'retirement' visa/extension cannot even apply for the WP without proving that he/she has exited Thailand. Two different standards and processes for exactly the same process.. where the applicant ends up with a B Visa BEFORE being awarded the WP.... This is one of Thai Immigration's many outdated - archaic and senseless rules
Joe ***********
Teachers getting WPs have somewhat different requirements than when one is a shareholder - Director of a Thai Company.

You also cannot hold a Work Permit while on a Tourist Visa BUT you CAN apply for a WP... see the discrepency?
