It's not just 'make the farang pay.' A lot of Thais in situations like this know who invited the group and that person is expected to pay. Japanese, on the other hand, are the complete opposite. In fact, here in Thailand, sometimes it's seen as causing loss of face when trying to discuss who's paying or trying to chip in Yes, there are always people who 'know that so&so is paying so they load up on ordering and may invite others. There is a big culture difference between what we expect and what the locals expect, and do. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but you should have paid for the whole bill, as was expected of you. And maybe managed the situation at the time by clearing it with her about 'who's in charge.' There's no mention of whether or not your wife was there to help.
