Been down that road as well !
Cannot legally work in Uk on a Tourist visa - married or not- and would still have to return to Thailand when Tourist visa ran out.
Applying for a residence visa then is very difficult .
Best way is to get a fiancee visa and after married in UK then apply for residence visa - valid for 2 years - this allows working and at the end can be converted to a permanent visa .
