This is a bit of a strange one. An ex of mine (thai) has been silly enough to get married to a Turkish man, 6 years her junior and penniless. They got married in Ankara last week at the Thai embassy and are in BKK again now. He has a 90 day visa.
Question......how easy is it for a non-Thai to get a work permit when married to a Thai? Is it possible to work while applying for a permit?
She has been checking out thaivisa.com but this does seem to be an unusual case.
Any advice is appreciated.

There is no such thing as a work permit, just for being married to a Thai.
As atl says, a WP is applied for by a company for someone of a trade that is not on the banned trades list.
Unless he shows 400,000B he won't even be allowed to stay as he is not considered cabable of supporting his wife.

Yes mixing two different items here. Work permits and Visas.
As Yurune correctly states being married to a Thai for the most part has nothing to do with getting a work permit, however if you are married to a Thai the company is required less paid up capital requirements.
Two, you are NOT allowed to work without a Work Permit sorta suggested by the coded name of Work PERMIT aka Permission to Work.

I guess that may imply that there is more than a few Farangs who are living & working Thailand illegally?

He can apply for an appropriate job like any other foreigner (as Yurune implied), which he may get depending on his qualifications and experience.
What kind of work, that is permissable here, is he suited for?
If and when a company or a school hires him, they can decide to give him proper documentation for a non-immigrant visa and sponsor him for the work permit. Depending on various factors they may not even do that. Technically it is not legal to work until the work permit is issued, but as this is impractical in many cases (as it may take a couple months to issue it and many Thai employers, if that's the direction he goes in, will expect someone to work, to 'show their abilities' before even sponsoring the work permit) people often are engaged in work for some period before it is actually issued. However once the process has begun it is understood that WP is the goal.
As mentioned above, being married to a Thai has no bearing on work permits.

Thx for the advice...so far as I know the guy has qualifications for nothing at all. My ex has totally lost her marbles I think. So, ok, forget the work permit. Does being married to a Thai make it easier for him to get a one year visa?

Well, he seems to have one qualification.
Don't worry, and start the countdown clock.
