I've witnessed a situation where that happened before. Guy on the street trash talked my friend's girl for being a gold digger or some ****.

last thing a girl with a better job / relatively high status wants
Thais will think the lower class looking girls (dark skin, trashy look, etc. guys who live here will know what I mean) are potential hookers/gold diggers. The middle class (girls making around 30k-40k baht), those are the girls who stand to lose the most in the image/benefit tradeoff. And like you said, the girls that are busto get the golden ticket.
The upper class high value girls (good looks, "noble looking", education, blah blah) won't be perceived like this by thais even if they're with a farang. First of all because they 99% of the time will be dating a farang who's a ****ing boss, for obvious reasons. I'm sure there would be some resentment from her social circle guys for dating outside the thai pool though.
This is the one thing I hate about Thailand (i'm sure this is prevalent mostly in BKK though), it's ****ing hard not to get sucked into this super status/image conscious mentality when you are surrounded by it at all times after living here years. In the end like Jspill says, you can use it to your advantage and it's a nice kick in the ass to work on your mindset. I.E. improving the external factors (looks, money, charm skillz, etc) while trying to maintain a detached frame to it all.
