Work permit canceled without notice

Dear All, I agreed with my employer to work in a nearby country, where he has a branch. We agreed on some terms of employment but didnt sign anything. Procedures to issue a business visa in the new place of employment started before we sign any agreement and the wok permit was promptly canceled. According to what is written in my contract, cancellation of work permit is equal to termination of employment without notice. The real reason behind this is that more foreigners are coming to work with us and work permits are limited to the number of Thai employees. So one farang goes to work abroad and one is replaced in Bangkok. So far nothing unusual.
What happened yesterday change the all perspective: we didnt reach an agreement on the new employment abroad, so the all thing folded. I was told the work permit has been canceled, the non immigrant B wont be renewed, basically I will be receiving the salary as usual and will be free to work from any country, like a digital nomad, without any visa or work permit related to any country. Which may suits me, actually.
My questions are:
1. if I decide to stop working for this jerk, am I entitled to severance pay according to Thai laws? As my work permit was canceled to make room for another farang without my consent, I didnt actually resign. I was terminated.
2. if the answer to point 1 is yes, I assume this has to end up in court. Do you think I should go talk to a Thai lawyer and let him handle further communications with the company?
3. if the answer is no, Id better be a digital nomad with a monthly salary…
