TLDR : Answer Summary
The post asks about the possibility of obtaining a B2 visa in Thailand. Comments clarify that the original inquiry likely refers to a Lao B2 visa, which allows for work, rather than the U.S. B2 tourist visa. It suggests that the Non-B Thai visa may be an equivalent option for work in Thailand.
Dca *****
The OP is referring to a LA-B2 Lao Visa, which is a one-year multiple entry visa that permits work/employment. He is not referring to the B2 U.S. Visa or B1/B2 U.S. Visa, which is essentially a Tourist or Visitor Visa that does not permit work/employment.

Therefore, a similar Thai Visa to the Lao Visa could possibly be the Non-B Thai Visa??

Unfortunately, I’m not retired, I’m 48 years old.

My wife is going to open a shop, and I wouldn’t want to have a problem with Thailand

My visa in Laos was LA-b2

Yes a B2 Visa is for the US. Are you retirement age/working/coming as a tourist?

As a tourist you can visit Thailand without a visa through the Visa Exemption Program. French citizens can stay in the country for up to 30 days as a tourist and can extend their permit to stay for a further 30 days at any local immigration office
