    Why do you think it was unfair?

    Basab,
    Sorry for your situation, unfortunately they consider it very fair. As most others have said, strong ties to Thailand would allow her to travel. I am stationed in China for 2 1/2 year with a contract from my company and my wife got a tourist visa to the US denied last year. They told her they didn't think she would return. Talk about feeling things were not fair, did they think she would live in the US without me? lol
    Start keeping things like all of your chat logs. Take pictures of your chat and make a folder of chat pictures. If you keep up with it daily it won't feel so big a task. It is a real pain to make pictures of 3 months of chat. So keep up with it as you go.
    Keep all train, hotel, airline tickets as proof that you have spent time together. If you visit again, I suggest putting her name on the hotel reservation with yours. That way the bill will show both of your names. Do anything you can to show you have had as much contact as possible.
    Take a lot of pictures together, and get them printed. Phones are not allowed into the interview, so you need it all printed out.
    K1 is your best option, it is faster than getting married and doing a CR-1, and it does give you 90 days to live together in the US before you must be married or she goes back to Thailand. So, if you do a K1, you can take the first 60 days and then discuss it with her, heck, you should have a pretty good feel for each other after living together for 60+ days. Just remember, intercultural relationships involve a lot of compromise, and most of that will be on your end. She is after-all, leaving everything she knows behind. In my opinion that puts the burden on you to compromise to make her more comfortable in the US.
    If you don't mind some suggestions of things to discuss up front. Talk to her about the dowry, you will most likely be asked to give money to her family, this is normal as I understand it, best to talk about it sooner than later. After that, ask her if she will expect you to send money monthly to her family back in Thailand after she moves to the US. This is a reoccurring theme on the forum if you take some time and read about it. It might sound callus of me, but keep your eyes open for red flags.
