Subway uses the master franchise system in Thailand, which means U.S. management is not directly involved in daily operations.  In describing its plans for international expansion, Subway stated:  "The master franchisees will have exclusive rights to manage and develop Subway locations in their respective countries and have committed to remodeling existing locations as well as opening new restaurants in the brand's current, contemporary image." https://newsroom.subway.com/2023-06-29-Subway-R-Celebrates-15-New-Master-Franchise-Agreements-Since-2021

 

It seems like Subway have turned round from that.  Have you seen how many they have just shut down for not "behaving"?  Orders came from the USA after Thai franchises tried to take advantage and do it "their way" and many have been shut down now.  No loss IMO but some may have liked them.
