I’m not any sort of analyst but from my understanding the threats Thai faces is Cambodia border skirmishes and Myanmar both of which could be handled with any aircraft. China is a non starter, even a next gen aircraft is no match for their entire military.

Maybe, but I don't think China, despite its population, has a large pool of people suited to be fighter pilots, so I don't think they'll be throwing their pilots away against competent air forces. A competent air-to-air capability will be a deterrent. A country like Cambodia is screwed against Thailand whatever Thailand buys.
