For what it's worth at this point in the conversation...my wife has traveled to Thailand both ways... i.e., with a ticket using her maiden name (same as in her Thai passport), and once using my last name (same as on her green card). Neither presented a problem, though using my last name cause just a moment of confusion upon check in to depart from the US. The only thing is that you must have a copy of your marriage certificate. Easy enough. We carry a couple copies in case someone wants a memento.
We are returning to Thailand again in a few months, and this she'll use my name on the ticket. And we do that because upon returning to the US, it is easier if the ticket matches the name on her green card. She has global entry too, so if we don't use my last name, then she gets a big X on her entry card.
