The Non-Immigrant-B
visa is a special visa for people wishing to work in Thailand. Like everything
in Thailand there is a slight catch here. You can't get this visa until you
have a job! So in order to get the visa you will have to obtain a normal tourist
visa, find a job, get the correct paperwork for your employer then leave the
country and obtain the Non-B visa at any Thai embassy.
Having a work permit does not allow you to work freely within the kingdom of Thailand. It allows you to work for the company that is listed on the permit only! It is illegal to take outside work, private work, or even for your company to send you to a different place to work.
The Visa is essentially a 60 day visa that can be extended another 30 days the same way that the tourist visa can be. Double entry Non-B visas are available.

With the visa you can apply for a work permit that allows you
to stay in the kingdom so long as you are working for the organisation that is listed
on the work permit. If you change employers you must also change work permits.
This is a relatively simple process that your employer should take care of.
I do know of some people where their employer tells them that it can't be
done and makes them start the entire work permit application over again, which
involves leaving the country. This is the easiest thing for the employer but
requires a lot of work, stress and money on your part.
