  3. My GF (and I) own a Honda 125 (2014 model)

You can get around the jobsworths fairly easily. Just get someone to say she works for the 250 baht a day in a shop or a cafe.

Just provide them with a declaration that you will accept all responsibility, costs or any expense related to the the granting of the visa for your wife/ partner and for her return on expirey of any visa or any extension permitted and granted thereafter.
