I have never heard a Thai pronounce the th in Thailand. I don't speak Thai, but I know that when Thais speak about each other in the Thai language, I've always picked it up as "Tai".
And I have never heard anyone from another English speaking country pronounce the th. Anyone from the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc, can confirm they pronounce the th?
I've been to Thailand yearly for a decade now, and I've never heard this.
I don't really get this argument. It's not even called Thailand in Thai, so how can he have pronounced it "in the Thai language"? And why did he choose this one country to suddenly start pronouncing it "their" way?
ETA: I just watched the video. He says Thighland, and then not even a second later he says Tailand. So which is it? Is he being worldly and broad minded and pronouncing it "their way" but still also saying it in English?
ETA2: Maybe Yo-Semite is how native Californians pronounce it?
ETA3: This just came to mind. Many of my Thai friends have studied English at university. They still have problems making the "th" sound in English.

Martin the Martian (My Favorite Martian) was not trying to blow up the earth as Apathia's post mentioned.
Marvin the Martian was the entity focused on blowing up the earth with "Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator."
