Thailand has always been about Thailand. They had the Brits and English invied at the same time. They sided with the Japs until the tide turned. They love to play forces against each other.
What is the difference between the “Brits” and the “English”? I am interested in your point but I don’t understand what you are trying to convey with that statement.
That way they don’t have to fight. The mooslems are a different matter.
