I have to translate it from Norwegian though and will do so almost to the word:

Hi,
Since I suppose you where the person I spoke with on the phone, I think you have allready been answered.
I am sorry that we could not be more helpful, but this is how the rules are, and they are equal for all.
I can give your friend a non-immigrant visa when he is married.
Since you are employed by him, I suppose we could help with a non-immigrant visa for you.
Stays longer then the 90 days that you will get from here, must be applied for at Immigration in Thailand.
With kind regards,
xxxx

I understand from the mail that they indeed will give me a non-immigrant visa IF my friend get married and applies for it. So as I said, they do not necessarily see things as black&white as some of you do in this forum. Also, after talking with both the embassy and the consulate they have given me virtually the exact same answer, and no mention ever, that this work is illegal in any way. I don't want to put that one to the test, but reading some of the posts here, you actually got me a little bit afraid after telling me how illegal this job would be. As you saw from my initial mail, I did mention actual work in Thailand. Also in the reply there was mention of being employed, which in turn indicates some occupation while in Thailand. I still think its a grey-area, as did immigration in Thailand when I once asked them there.
Hmmm... I suppose we will not need more than a tourist-visa this time, and we might be lucky to get a double entry touristvisa in Laos as we did last year, thus eneabling us to stay for up to 9 months.
