Hi Tarun

Thanks for the compliment.
I am no expert but I know a little about Thai Visa and Thai laws.
Unfortunately I have never worked here so I am not a lot of help on the subject of work permits.

However I know that they are obtained from the local branch of the Ministry of Labour and that to get one you must be in Thailand on a non Immigrant visa or extension of stay, in your case marriage to a Thai is OK.
This link lists all the jobs that you cannot do, but if you scroll down the page it has lots of information on work permits and businesses.

Hope that's useful.

Regards

Mike

Thai laws are sometimes complicated.

If you are going to work yes. It clearly outlines everything on the link I sent you.
It also explains about running a business.
