TLDR : Answer Summary

To run a master cooking class in Thailand for two days, your friend will need to apply for a Non-Immigrant B visa from Australia, as he will be working in Thailand. The inviting Thai company must also arrange for his work permit and provide necessary documentation for the visa application. It is advisable for him to contact the Thai consulate in Australia for further information and assistance.

he is invited to give this master class, so the inviting company has to arrange the work permit and the documents for him to apply for the Non Immigrant B visa. There is no minimum amount of days you need to work inside Thailand or if your customers have foreign passports or it does not even matter if your customers are inside or outside Thailand. To work inside Thailand you need the Work Permit and the Non Immigrant B visa or in some cases the Non Immigrant O visa allowed to work in combination with work permit

As he is working in Thailand, yes he needs the correct visa. Contact his home country Thai Consulate for added information and visa application.
