thanks for the easy reply , can anyone tell me ,where in bkk will i submit a application for the w.p?

You must be offered an eligible job from a real company that qualifies to hire a foreigner and for an allowable position for foreigners.

Your company should be able to help with filing proper paperwork and you can look on the main Thaivisa.com page for info on WP's and visas

A WP most be applied for at the local labour office. But the company will, and must, help you with the process.

Work permit question has been answered.

Unless you can meet the requirements on your own (40,000 baht) for a one year extension I would suggest that you get a mutiple non-o before arriving. Getting a job and the work permit could easily take more than 90 day plus the fact that you have to show that income for 3 months before doing the application for a 1 year extension. Getting a multiple entry miight save making a visa run after 90 days verses a border run with a multiple entry.
