ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The best visa option for your friend, who is married to a Thai woman and has a lower pension, would depend on several factors. If he is over 50, he might consider applying for a retirement visa (Non-O visa) with a lower monthly income requirement, or he can apply for a Non-O visa based on marriage by meeting the financial requirements, specifically having 400,000 THB saved in a Thai bank account for at least 2 months. His pension amount may not be relevant if he meets the other criteria.
