      King of Thailand still holds the power and authority like how Kings did back in the day eg literally bowing in the ground in front of him so because of that he would think giving an "interview" is beneath him
      And Brunei is same like sheikhs in middle east, interviewer would be killed the next day if he said some offensive stuffs
