The company you work for will need to provide the following for you when applying for the Thai business visa as well as the work permit at the Labour department in Thailand.

In addition this would be what most times would be needed. Likewise depending on what you will be doing in Thailand the documents and Documents for Work Permitprocess would be different. Note also that you are not allowed to hold a job which is prohibited in Thailand.

Likewise those are listed on this website. You are not going to get a work permit unless the position cannot be filled by a Thai national. In addition speak to lawyer about the process if you are doing it for your own business as it would be much easier as it can be done once a year with your annual tax returns.
