just an update here, the thai soon to be ex wife is now apparently facing a lengthy jail sentence here for selling property against the judges order.

of course the property was purchased by the american husband with documented monies.

more to come...

In the case of the OP you should be sitting pretty easy in that you haven't transferred much over to your Thai wife. My understanding is that you are correct about the 50 -50 split in wealth since marriage, however it doesn't apply to your offshore holdings since they wouldn't be declared. As always, talk to a good lawyer.
