As far as the second part I was not suggesting they can revoke your Thai license but they can for sure revoke your permission to drive here.
Yep, that is a problem.

I obviously still have to follow the rules of the road. What I'm saying is, if I did do something that could otherwise result in my US license being revoked (which I don't have anymore), they can not take my Thai one. So I no longer have a US license, thus there is nothing to take or forbid me from driving.
As hard as this is to believe, the USA has no mechanism in place to even know my foreign license is legit or not. No DB or anything. So long as my license is valid from another country, they can not revoke anything, or stop me from driving there. They can't say, "DWB, you drive like a dick head, you're no longer allowed to drive here." Because there is no system in place to add foreigners to that forbids them from driving in the USA if they are on a legal license from elsewhere. But even better, it could be fake and they wouldn't even know. A global DB of licensed drivers does not exist yet. I'm sure someday such a thing will happen, and then things may change, but until then... Foreigners are hell on wheels.
