Apples and oranges
Thailand isn't a great comparison though. It's further away from the action by a thousand miles or so, and doesn't straddle any major shipping routes (adjacent to, but not actually on like Taiwan). Additionally, none of the major combatants need to shift supplies through the area.
It's too far from the action to be used as an air base, and there's potentially hostile countries in the way as well.
