          You never heard anyone say Thailand? Or you just never made the connection?

            I think it’s the former, I also think I maybe imagined the “Th” when someone else said it. I also may have been surrounded by others who mispronounced both.

            So in short I blame society /s

              Ha! Typical millennial

              Edit: since it’s not always clear on the internet, I too am being sarcastic.
