Always spoken English at home and office then switch to Thai when the mother-in-law is visiting. No pointing in arguing grammar with anyone.
Learn Thai and switch as required for clarity.
If a Thai were living in the USA and spoke Thai in Starbucks, Karens would turn on her and shout This is America! Speak English!
That your wife doesn't shout to you to "Speak Thai!" is nice of her.
Of course there is a way to make it work. Reduce the American minimum wage to $3.7 per hour will give it parity with China. Then America will bring back industries to the home country.

And so Americans, by your definitions, are all illegal immigrants. I don't remember any of the early Americans asking native Americans for permission to steal their land.
Violent criminals? There is a movie called Soldier Blue. Watch it to find out what illegal immigrants did to the natives.
Everything depends on the woman. You just have to take time to observe and know. I once went to live in an apartment with a western girlfriend. Perfectly sweet until we moved in, then she was screaming about the stove and how i needed to change it.

France's Jeanne Calment passed in 1997, but she still holds the record for oldest person ever at 122. And she didn't get there by eating a ton of carrots. Calment had a weakness for port wine and cigarettes, only giving up smoking in the last five years of her life. But she was especially fond of chocolate.
There's going to be a lot of long-living by expats in Pattaya.
I am surprised not to hear of any Laotian dying of methanol poisoning if it is a common practice in Laos. Difficult to believe it happened in one hotel only.
A man in a dress? Kind of stupid thing to say without any facts. She doesn't have a penis.

The capitalist method would be to use cheap labor. Like immigrants. 🤔
