If you qualify for the annual extensions, you could. But if you don't, then you'd have to stay on visas issues from outsite the country.

 

For most foreigners, majority of requirements are the same with or without annual extension, when you renew work permit, except the salary requirements, which are 50/60k per month minimum to qualify for annual extensions: https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?p=14714 (first one at the top):

...thanks for reply , but i need to know if is possible choose the multi-entry visa non B instead of extension in thai territory  if u are employed (staff)  for a business like restaurant or the visa multi entry can not applied for some kind of job positions?

You have to apply for a one-year extension of stay. When you  want to travel abroad, you apply for a re-entry permit at your  local immigration office before leaving Thailand.

If you went and applied for a multi-entry NonB outside Thailand, you will get grilled as to why you did not extend, also, not aware of any local embassies/consulates that would issue you a multi anyway.
