You need a Non Immigrant O Visa to get you started.

This can then be extended in Thailand for 12 months. You have to extend every year and report your address to Immigration every 90 days.

(6) In case of marriage with a Thai lady, the husband who is an alien must have an average annual income of not less than 40,000 baht per month or a money deposit in a local Thai bank of not less than 400,000 baht for the past 2 months for expenses within a year.
