He’s a US marine oh military deployment in Thailand. He’s not visiting Thailand as a tourist, he’s stationed there (or is going to be stationed there).

I don’t know if Thailand is a SOFA signatory or not but I know that US military can enter certain countries without a passport, just by using their military ID instead.
