will work in China. Is it possible to process work permit here in Bangkok?

If you apply for a Chinese Z visa, you should ask your Chinese employer to help you get the work permit. Such a permit is acquired from the local labor bureau. It's impossible for you to acquire one in Bangkok. Then you should take the work permit and other documents to apply from Chinese embassy in your own country.

Thank you, Sandy. Probably getting a tourist entry permit is better? I really dont know at this point, it is stricter now. The employer just wants me to enter China as tourist. Shady???

Dear, if you work in PRC with a tourist L type, I’m afraid it’s illegal. You are advised to apply for a work Z type directly.
