Wow! Im not sure where to start with all that waffle! Perhaps some Ice cream?
Thailand relies on tourism. If they didnt make the effort to learn English I guess the Chinese would be their only visitors, give or take. So would you also expect all the Chinese to speak Thai? Or just western whiteys?
Also, Thailand is the only country on earth who's first language is Thai 🤣
So yeah, if you're gonna move there and live there, learn the language. For a vacation, both parties can get by and do so happily.
Are you sifting through the internet for stuff to feel guilty and virtuous about? No-one cares kidda, not even the Thais. They understand if they want tourism, they need to adapt to tourists! They are the ones with the dosh! As for living their, learn the language
Hope you're OK
