Do not believe Malaysia allows dual nationality so could be a serious problem. Being born in Thailand would not make your child Thai unless father is Thai (it is not like Malaysia where place of birth equals nationality). You may need legal advise and base decision on where you plan to live for now.

Mother is Thai, so child is a Thai citizen.

Dual Nationality is the issue for Malaysia:

Not sure how effective is the Malaysian government in checking that babies don't have another citizenship ...

Sorry read it to be "I am Malaysia wife" rather that wife is Thai but the dual nationality issue remains an issue for Malaysia.
