Sorry for jumping onto your posting but if converting to the 800000 baht and doing away with the 65000 per month I would still have to bring in more than 65000 baht. So my question is to reduce any possible tax which may be levied, would it be a good idea to split the monthly input in two, sending 50% in my name and 50% in my wife's name? Personally I don't think they will tax income that has already been taxed but there may be a difference between the tax paid in my home country and the tax levied in Thailand.
