and unfortunately the topic of working IN thailand is not visa related enough to keep on the group.

Can you work on the farm? I don't know what "farm work" technically is. IF you want to work legally, you'll need a work permit. You can get a work permit on a Non-O Visa based on having a Thai wife. See

for setting up a business, and the forbidden jobs

But employment law isn't visa related, and if you or are your wife wants to start a business together, I recommend contacting a good, high quality lawyer. Your embassy may have a list of lawyers they can recommend.

a Security deposit? a new way to describe the visa requirements.

Yes, you are allowed to work inside Thailand, IF you have a Work Permit and a Visa that allows you to work with that work permit.
