Check with the VA regs; but more than likely, each nation takes care of their own veterans. The US VA probably only takes care of US vets. Thai veterans would probably have to be treated by their Thai Government.

Are thailand veteran's considered veitnam veterans?
Yes, we are. Many in-country veterans do not think we are. I was in Thailand in 1975, NKP RTAFB. Being there after the “official” withdrawal in 1973, we are really then orphans of the Vietnam war, which did not officially ended until May 7, 1975, by an Act of Congress. The last battle did not occur. until 15 May, 1975, with the USS Mayaquez Incident. In this action 10 Marines were killed (3-were left behind and killed later by the Khmer Rouge, 2 Navy Corpsman, 2 Air Force crew members, not to mention the 18 Security Policemen, and 5 crew members ( call sign Knife-13). These Air Force personnel were originally responding to the to the Mayaquez incident some “Real Vietnam Veteran” sites cite only approximately 3-5000 Air Force personnel were in Thailand/Guam and were never exposed to any danger. They have little regard for the veterans who served in a position to directly support their action in country. In 1975, there were 27,000 USAF personnel in Thailand still supporting the S. Vietnam, to include assisting in the evacuation of Phnom Pen and S. Vietnam. US personnel were in Thailand for 10 years, so closed to 300,000 served there, not just 3-5000. also, according to DCAS-Vietnam Conflict Extract File, dated April 29, 2008, the following is an official accounting of the number of US personnel killed in the Vietnam theater of war: 728 in Laos; 523 in Cambodia; 10 in China; 1,120 in N. Vietnam; 178 in Thailand; 55,661 in Vietnam, total 58,220. again, according to the “Real Vietnam Veteran” sites those who served any where but in Vietnam proper did not face any danger, say from anti-aircraft fire Over enemy territory, attacks on airbases in Thailand, being fired upon while conducting rescue missions in Lsod, Cambodia, N. Vietnam and yes S.Vietnam. All members who served in South east Asia are Vietnam veterans! in fact by an act of Congress, in respective of where on served during the Vietnam War, we are all Vietnam Era veterans.
