then get out there and start pounding the pavement the second you hit the ground hit bank after bank over and over one after another until you find one that will let her open an account

My advice is you should ALL get at least single entry tourist visas before you come here so that you get stamped in for 60 days.
Remember Chiang Mai takes 15 working days to process in country Non-Imm visa applications and that means you need that much time on your current stamp or you can't apply in country.
Getting a tourist visa will give you 60 days when you land and you can extend that for 30 more at the immigration office. 90 days should be plenty of time to pull off what you're trying to accomplish with your child and wife
