You'll have to change the default behavior via Edit -> Preferences -> Display tab -> "View new folders using". Select "Last active view" setting and Thunar acts like you expected.

The phrasing might be a bit confusing as it talks about new folders, but this is how Thunar currently works. Please file an upstream bug (https://bugzilla.xfce.org) if you think the phrasing and/or behavior should be improved.

I'm closing this as WORKSFORME, feel free to reopen if needed.
