This is nothing new. Thailand is everyone and anyone's friend if there is money to be made. But if they ever have to choose sides, don't be mistaken... China comes out on top.

US helping Thai economy.....may be yes in in the entertainment venues. 

Thailand exports to the US $34B, to China $30B. They import from China $50B, and from the US $15B.

But the allegiance from the richest Thai Chinese and Thai Chinese companies with straight ties to China will have to go the CCP way, and this is also maybe a discussion we can't go into depth about for who at teh top supports them in this country the most. Of course Thailand plays both fields, but they better hope that the bad behind th scene masters don't mandate a back turning.
