Not famililar with Thaifly but the purchasing of a ticket from the west coast and a seperate ticket from MIA to the west coast is a good suggestion. I would think that China, Eva or Korean can be pretty cheap from the west coast especially if you can find an agent that deals in either of those airlines.

To the original poster, play around with some city pairs (SFO, SEA, LAX, ATL etc) and dates on expedia etc and then try to a low price to BKK from those and see if you can get a seperate cheap ticket from Miami to those cities.

That does have its risk though as you are not on one ticket so not much protection in the event of delays so those are the risks you take to save money.
