The Japanese did invade Thailand. But because of the large number of Japanese sympathizers in the Thai government and the strength of the Japanese military, the fighting was very short: despite fierce resistance by Thai border units, Thailand folded in a matter of hours. From that point forward, Thailand acted as an Axis power in World War II and her military fought alongside the IJA against the Allies in Burma.
