Not in Kansas anymore Toto, Thais accept you if you don’t speak Thai many of them especially in the cities have a smattering if not good English and will always try to use it even if you want them to speak Thai, often foreigners give up at this stage, those that live in more rural areas often learn faster out of necessity but it’s almost never seen as a bad thing that you don’t. All down to perceived status from both sides sadly. Always best to have a go though it’s tough as the basis of both languages are a world apart and even if you don’t pick up the Sanskrit based alphabet at least try to get conversational, it opens many doors and hearts.

just book a cheap sacrificial flight to Phnom Penh

You can drop into mine mate, we’ll hit the 7, woohoo!!
