It wasn't a question, it was a complaint. You're not happy with a question, you're not the first, you won't be the last.

It wasn't a question, it was a petty little complaint. "Why do I need to put a permanent address in my home country, I wive in Thailand?"

Because that's what is asks for.

Like Brandon said, online classes do not conform to the ED visa requirements, the law says you need a minimum of 6 hours in person classes per week for the program to be eligible for an ED visa.

As much as people talk about it, I've never heard a single incident of anyone being arrested/deported for working illegally in a manner as described above. Immigrations asked me on numerous occasions during my TV extensions what I do here, I always say "I work from my computer in the US," never once had a follow up question.

Some will cite the arrest of a few Americans in 2018 for 'teaching english online' in Chiang Mai, but that was totally different. They were working in a building in Chiang Mai, for a Thai company, teaching Thai students, and being paid in Thailand.

I tend to disagree with that idea. It's illegal to work in thailand without a work permit. Working for a (lets say USA) US company, for US customers, being paid in a US bank, is not working in Thailand even though you may be physically located here. It's no more working in Thailand just as someone here for a week and checking emails or trading stocks isn't working in Thailand either.

I'm sure any minivan company would take her for the cost of a ticket, just make sure you're there when she arrives in Bangkok.

That's still a transit, different than a Layover. Transits are generally defined as a layover less than 72 hours.
